Bifunctional autolysin

UniProtKB accession:  Q931U5

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Endohydrolysis of the di-N-acetylchitobiosyl unit in high-mannose glycopeptides and glycoproteins containing the -[(Man)5(GlcNAc)2]-Asn structure. One N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residue remains attached to the protein; the rest of the oligosaccharide is released intact. Cleaves the peptidoglycan connecting the daughter cells at the end of the cell division cycle, resulting in the separation of the two newly divided cells. Acts as an autolysin in penicillin-induced lysis (By similarity).
