N-Acetyl-d-glucosamine kinase (GlcNAc kinase, EC 2.7.1.59), the specific enzyme required for the phosphorylation ofN-acetyl-d-glucosamine (GlcNAc) toN-acetylglucosamine 6-phosphate, was found to be an inducible enzyme inCandida albicans. The pattern of GlcNAc kinase induction was examined under cond...
