Comments [?]

case <OC:Bacteria>
Function Catalyzes the initial step of the lipid cycle reactions in the biosynthesis of the cell wall peptidoglycan: transfers peptidoglycan precursor phospho-MurNAc-pentapeptide from UDP-MurNAc-pentapeptide onto the lipid carrier undecaprenyl phosphate, yielding undecaprenyl-pyrophosphoryl-MurNAc-pentapeptide, known as lipid I.
end case
case <OC:Lactobacillales> or <OC:Staphylococcus>
Catalytic activity RHEA:21920: di-trans,octa-cis-undecaprenyl phosphate + UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-muramoyl-L-alanyl-gamma-D-glutamyl-L-lysyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine = Mur2Ac(oyl-L-Ala-gamma-D-Glu-L-Lys-D-Ala-D-Ala)-di-trans,octa-cis-undecaprenyl diphosphate + UMP
