Function
MURU_PSEAE Catalyzes the formation of UDP-N-acetylmuramate (UDP-MurNAc), a crucial precursor of the bacterial peptidoglycan cell wall, from UTP and MurNAc-alpha-1P (By similarity). Is involved in peptidoglycan recycling as part of a cell wall recycling pathway that bypasses de novo biosynthesis of the peptidoglycan precursor UDP-MurNAc (PubMed:24819062). Plays a role in intrinsic resistance to fosfomycin, which targets the de novo synthesis of UDP-MurNAc (PubMed:24819062).[UniProtKB:Q88QT2][1]
