2.6.1.102
Description GDP-perosamine synthase
Alternative names perosamine synthetase;
GDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-mannose-4-aminotransferase;
RfbE;
Per.
Catalyzed reaction GDP-4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-alpha-D-mannose + 2-oxoglutarate <=> GDP-4-dehydro-6-deoxy-alpha-D-mannose + L-glutamate.
Cofactor Pyridoxal-phosphate.
Comments D-perosamine is one of several dideoxy sugars found in the O-specific polysaccharide of the lipopolysaccharide component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. The enzyme catalyzes the final step in GDP-perosamine synthesis.
In bacteria,D-perosamine is used for the glycosylation of products such as antibiotics and lipopolysaccharides.
Perosamine synthase occurs in a wide variety of microorganisms, including pathogens, suggesting that the enzyme performs a function crucial for the normal life cycle and/or virulence of many species.
