EC 2.6.1.91 Details
EC number
2.6.1.91
Accepted name
UDP-4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-N-acetyl-α-D-glucosamine transaminase
Reaction
UDP-4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-N-acetyl-α-D-glucosamine + 2-oxoglutarate = UDP-2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-α-D-xylo-hex-4-ulose + L-glutamate
Other name(s)
pglE (gene name)
Systematic name
UDP-4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-N-acetyl-α-D-glucosamine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase
Comment
A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. The enzyme is involved in biosynthesis of UDP-N,N-diacetylbacillosamine, an intermediate in protein glycosylation pathways in several bacterial species, including N-linked glycosylation of certain L-aspargine residues in Campylobacter species [1-3] and O-linked glycosylation of certain L-serine residues in Neisseria species [4].
