N-acetylmuramic acid 6-phosphate etherase

N-acetylmuramic acid 6-phosphate etherase (, MurNAc-6-P etherase, MurQ) is an enzyme with systematic name (R)-lactate hydro-lyase (adding N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate; N-acetylmuramate 6-phosphate-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * (R)-lactate + N-acetyl- D -glucosamine 6-phosphate $$\rightleftharpoons$$ N-acetylmuramate 6-phosphate + H2O

This enzyme is required for the utilization of anhydro-N-acetylmuramic acid in some Pseudomonadota.
