Description | Phospho-N-acetylmuramoyl-pentapeptide-transferase ( ) (MraY) is a bacterial enzyme responsible for the formation of the first lipid intermediate of the cell wall peptidoglycan synthesis [ ]. It catalyses the formation of undecaprenyl-pyrophosphoryl-N-acetylmuramoyl-pentapeptide from UDP-MurNAc-pentapeptide and undecaprenyl-phosphate. MraY is an integral membrane protein with probably ten transmembrane domains. It belongs to family 4 of glycosyl transferases. Homologues of MraY have been found in archaebacteria Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum and in Arabidopsis thaliana (Mouse-ear cress). |
