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-<small>D</small>-glucosamine 6-phosphate N-acetylmuramate 6-phosphate + H<sub>2</sub>O

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