DE   UDP-N-acetylglucosamine--decaprenyl-phosphate
DE   N-acetylglucosaminephosphotransferase.
AN   GlcNAc-1-phosphate transferase.
AN   UDP-GlcNAc:undecaprenyl phosphate GlcNAc-1-phosphate transferase.
CA   trans,octa-cis-decaprenyl phosphate + UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine =
CA   N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl-1-diphospho-trans,octa-cis-decaprenol +
CA   UMP.
CC   -!- Isolated from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium smegmatis.
CC   -!- This enzyme catalyzes the synthesis of monotrans,octacis-decaprenyl-
CC       N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl diphosphate (mycobacterial lipid I),
CC       an essential lipid intermediate for the biosynthesis of various
CC       bacterial cell envelope components. cf. EC 2.7.8.33.
