| Short Name | MupG_N |
| description | This entry represents the N-terminal domain of 6-phospho-N-acetylmuramidase from bacteria. MupG is involved in the recycling pathway of the cell wall turnover product MurNAc-GlcNAc in S.aureus. It catalyses the hydrolysis of MurNAc 6-phosphate-GlcNAc, the disaccharide product of MurP-uptake and phosphorylation, yielding MurNAc 6-phosphate and GlcNAc []. These proteins appear to consist of two structural subdomains as it can be seen in the two available crystal structures of Enterococcus faecalis () and Bacillus cereus (). This is the larger N-terminal domain with a TIM-barrel like structure and the C-terminal domain is similar to the cyclophilin family. |
