DE   peptidoglycan lytic transglycosylase.
AN   endolytic murein transglycosylase.
AN   endolytic transglycosylase.
AN   lytic murein transglycosylase.
AN   lytic transglycosylase.
CA   a peptidoglycan chain = a peptidoglycan chain with N-acetyl-1,6-
CA   anhydromuramyl-[peptide] at the reducing end + a peptidoglycan chain with
CA   N-acetylglucosamine at the non-reducing end.
CC   -!- A group of bacterial enzymes that catalyze the non-hydrolytic
CC       cleavage of peptidoglycan (PG).
CC   -!- The enzymes fragment the polysaccharide chain at the beta-1,4-
CC       glycosidic bond between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine
CC       residues by an intramolecular cyclization of the N-acetylmuramyl
CC       moiety to yield a 1,6-anhydro-N-acetyl-beta-D-muramyl product.
CC   -!- Includes endolytic transglycosylase activity that fragments the
CC       glycan chain internally and exolytic transgylcosylase activity that
CC       cleaves a terminal disaccharide from the end of the glycan strand.
CC   -!- The MtlG enzyme of Gram-negative bacteria may function to regulate
CC       glycan strand length within the PG polymer.
