EC number
2.5.1.101
Accepted name
N,N′-diacetyllegionaminate synthase
Reaction
2,4-diacetamido-2,4,6-trideoxy-α-D-mannopyranose + phosphoenolpyruvate + H2O = N,N′-diacetyllegionaminate + phosphate
Other name(s)
neuB (gene name), legI (gene name)
Systematic name
phosphoenolpyruvate:2,4-diacetamido-2,4,6-trideoxy-α-D-mannopyranose 1-(2-carboxy-2-oxoethyl)transferase
Comment
Requires a divalent metal such as Mn2+. Isolated from the bacteria Legionella pneumophila and Campylobacter jejuni, where it is involved in the biosynthesis of legionaminic acid, a virulence-associated, cell surface sialic acid-like derivative.
