The N-terminal transglycosylase activity polymerizes the glycan backbone and is penicillin-insensitive. The C-terminal transpeptidase activity crosslinks the muramic peptides and is penicillin-sensitive. Several phenotypes were associated with an mrcA deletion strain that inadvertantly deleted two neighboring genes, nudE(yrfE) and yrfF. One or both of these other genes turned out to be responsible for the observed mrcA-associated phenotypes. Murein polymerase is an essential function satisfied by either MrcA or MrcB. MrcA contains a PDZ domain involved in substrate recognition. MrcA is a membrane-bound periplasmic enzyme that has an uncleaved signal anchor.[4]
