Sporulation-specific N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase

UniProtKB accession:  Q06320

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Autolysins are involved in some important biological processes such as cell separation, cell-wall turnover, competence for genetic transformation, formation of the flagella - in particular of its basal body - and sporulation. CwlC is able to hydrolyze type A cell walls such as B.subtilis. Its main function is to lyze the mother cell wall peptidoglycan, playing a role during sporulation.
