Protein name

RecName: Full=Membrane-bound lytic murein transglycosylase C; EC=3.2.1.-; AltName: Full=Murein hydrolase C; Flags: Precursor;

Gene name

mltC

FUNCTION: Murein-degrading enzyme. May play a role in recycling of muropeptides during cell elongation and/or cell division (By similarity).

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Cleavage of the beta-1,4-glycosidic bond between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine residues, thereby conserving the energy in a newly synthesized 1,6-anhydrobond in the muramic acid residue.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell outer membrane; Lipid-anchor (By similarity).

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the transglycosylase slt family.
