ENZYME entry: EC 2.4.1.52

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/2.4.1.52
Accepted Name
poly(glycerol-phosphate) alpha-glucosyltransferase
Alternative Name(s)
UDP glucose-poly(glycerol-phosphate) alpha-glucosyltransferase
Reaction catalysed
4-O-{[(2R)-1-glycerylphospho](n)-(2R)-1-glycerylphospho}-N-acetyl-beta-D-mannosaminyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl undecaprenyl diphosphate + n UDP-alpha-D-glucose = 4-O-{[(2R)-2-alpha-D-glucosyl-1-glycerylphospho](n)-(2R)-1-glycerylphospho}-N-acetyl-beta-D-mannosaminyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl undecaprenyl diphosphate + n UDP + n H(+)
Comment(s)
  • Involved in the biosynthesis of poly glycerol phosphate teichoic acids in bacterial cell walls.
  • This enzyme, isolated from Bacillus subtilis 168, adds an alpha-D- glucose to the free OH groups of the glycerol units.
  • The enzyme has a strong preference for UDP-alpha-glucose as the sugar donor.
  • It has no activity with poly(ribitol phosphate).
