DE   mannosyl-3-phosphoglycerate synthase.
AN   MPG synthase.
CA   (2R)-3-phosphoglycerate + GDP-alpha-D-mannose = 2-O-(alpha-D-mannosyl)-3-
CA   phosphoglycerate + GDP + H(+).
CC   -!- The enzyme is absolutely specific for GDP-mannose and
CC       3-phosphoglycerate, and transfers the mannosyl group with retention
CC       of configuration.
CC   -!- In the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii,
CC       the mannosyl-3-phosphoglycerate formed is subsequently
CC       dephosphorylated by a specific phosphatase, EC 3.1.3.70, producing
CC       mannosylglycerate.
