Enzyme Information

3.5.1.104
Peptidoglycan-N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q8DP63
Peptidoglycan-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + H(2)O = peptidoglycan-D- glucosamine + acetate.
-!- Modification of peptidoglycan by N-deacetylation is an important factor in virulence of Helicobacter pylori, Listeria monocytogenes and Streptococcus suis. -!- The enzyme from Streptococcus pneumoniae is a metalloenzyme using a His-His-Asp zinc-binding triad with a nearby aspartic acid and histidine acting as the catalytic base and acid, respectively.
