Identification
Name:Membrane-bound lytic murein transglycosylase F
Synonyms:
  • Murein lyase F
Gene Name:mltF
Enzyme Class:Not Available
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in carbon-oxygen lyase activity, acting on polysaccharides
Specific Function:Murein-degrading enzyme that degrades murein glycan strands and insoluble, high-molecular weight murein sacculi, with the concomitant formation of a 1,6-anhydromuramoyl product. Lytic transglycosylases (LTs) play an integral role in the metabolism of the peptidoglycan (PG) sacculus. Their lytic action creates space within the PG sacculus to allow for its expansion as well as for the insertion of various structures such as secretion systems and flagella
Cellular Location:Cell outer membrane; Peripheral membrane protein.
