Comment
Toxic component of a toxin-antitoxin (TA) module. The phosphorylation of UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine results in the inhibition of EC
2.5.1.7 , UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 1-carboxyvinyltransferase, the first committed step in cell wall synthesis, which is then blocked. The activity of this enzyme is inhibited when the enzyme binds to the cognate epsilon antitoxin.
