N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate deacetylase, NagA, catalyzes the hydrolysis of the N-acetyl group of N-acetyl-glucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcNAc-6-P) to glucosamine 6-phosphate and acetate. This is the first committed step in the biosynthetic pathway to amino-sugar-nucleotides, which is needed for cell wall peptidoglycan and teichoic acid biosynthesis. Deacetylation of N-acetylglucosamine is also important in lipopolysaccharide synthesis and cell wall recycling.

N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate deacetylase; Provisional

Amidohydrolase family. This family of enzymes are a a large metal dependent hydrolase superfamily. The family includes Adenine deaminase EC:3.5.4.2 that hydrolyzes adenine to form hypoxanthine and ammonia. Adenine deaminases reaction is important for adenine utilisation as a purine and also as a nitrogen source. This family also includes dihydroorotase and N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate deacetylases, EC:3.5.1.25 These enzymes catalyze the reaction N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate + H2O <=> D-glucosamine 6-phosphate + acetate. This family includes the catalytic domain of urease alpha subunit. Dihydroorotases (EC:3.5.2.3) are also included.
