Peptidoglycan N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) deacetylase Bc1960 is a Bacillus cereus enzyme with backbone modifications is the Cα hydroxylation of a proline in the active site. Bc1960 is a polysaccharide deacetylase (PDA) that catalyzes the reaction of turning peptidoglycan-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine to peptidoglycan-D-glucosamine. Modification of peptidoglycan by N-deacetylation is an important factor in virulence of Helicobacter pylori, Listeria monocytogenes and Streptococcus suis.
