ENZYME entry: EC 2.4.1.33
Accepted Name |
mannuronan synthase.
|
Alternative Name(s) |
alginate synthase. |
mannuronosyl transferase. |
Reaction catalysed |
[(1->4)-beta-D-mannuronosyl](n) + GDP-alpha-D-mannuronate <=> [(1->4)-beta-D-mannuronosyl](n+1) + GDP + H(+) |
Comment(s) |
- The enzyme catalyzes the polymerization of beta-D-mannuronate
residues into a mannuronan polymer, an intermediate in the
biosynthesis of alginate.
- It is found in brown algae and in alginate-producing bacterial
species from the Pseudomonas and Azotobacter genera.
