Copurification of glucosamine-1-phosphate acetyltransferase and N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate uridyltransferase activities of Escherichia coli: characterization of the glmU gene product as a bifunctional enzyme catalyzing two subsequent steps in the pathway for UDP-N-acetylglucosamine synthesis.

The glmU gene product of Escherichia coli was recently identified as the N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate uridyltransferase activity which catalyzes the formation of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine, an essential precursor for cell wall peptidoglycan and lipopolysaccharide biosyntheses (D.
