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.

Adenine deaminase (AdeC) directly deaminates adenine to form hypoxanthine. This reaction is part of one of the adenine salvage pathways, as well as the degradation pathway. It is important for adenine utilization as a purine, as well as a nitrogen source in bacteria and archea.
