peptidoglycan lytic transglycosylase activity https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/21167 molecular_function lytic transglycosylase activity murein transglycosylase activity Catalysis of the cleavage of a peptidoglycan chain into a peptidoglycan chain with N-acetyl-1,6-anhydromuramyl-[peptide] at the reducing end + a peptidoglycan chain with N-acetylglucosamine at the non-reducing end. Includes endolytic transglycosylase activity that fragments the glycan chain internally and exolytic transgylcosylase activity that cleaves a terminal disaccharide from the end of the glycan strand. lytic murein transglycosylase activity EC:4.2.2.29 GO:0008933 carbon-oxygen lyase activity, acting on polysaccharides peptidoglycan muralytic activity
