Reaction: ATP + H2O + teichoic acidin = ADP + phosphate + teichoic acidout
Systematic name: ATP phosphohydrolase (teichoic-acid-exporting)
Comments: ABC-type (ATP-binding cassette-type) ATPase, characterised by the presence of two similar ATP-binding domains. Does not undergo phosphorylation during the transport process. An enzyme found in Gram-positive bacteria that exports teichoic acid.
