ENZYME entry: EC 2.7.8.33
Accepted Name |
UDP-N-acetylglucosamine--undecaprenyl-phosphate
N-acetylglucosaminephosphotransferase.
|
Alternative Name(s) |
UDP-GlcNAc:undecaprenyl-phosphate GlcNAc-1-phosphate transferase. |
Undecaprenyl-phosphate alpha-N-acetylglucosaminyl 1-phosphate
transferase. |
Reaction catalysed |
UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine + ditrans,octacis-undecaprenyl phosphate <=> UMP + N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl-diphospho-ditrans,octacis-undecaprenol |
Comment(s) |
- This enzyme catalyzes the synthesis of N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl-
diphospho-ditrans,octacis-undecaprenol, an essential lipid
intermediate for the biosynthesis of various bacterial cell envelope
components.
- The enzyme also initiates the biosynthesis of enterobacterial common
antigen and O-antigen lipopolysaccharide in certain Escherichia coli
strains, including K-12 and of teichoic acid in certain Gram-positive
bacteria.
- Formerly EC 2.7.8.n2.
