	2.6.1.33
Description	dTDP-4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-D-glucose aminotransferase.
Alternative names	Thymidine diphospho-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose transaminase; Thymidine diphospho-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose-glutamic transaminase; TDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose transaminase; WecE.
Catalyzed reaction	dTDP-4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-D-glucose + 2-oxoglutarate = dTDP-4-dehydro-6-deoxy-D-glucose + L-glutamate.
Cofactor	Pyridoxal-phosphate.
	The enzyme from E. coli, WecE, uses TDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-glucose (TDP-D-Glc4O) and L-glutamate as a good amino acceptor and donor, respectively, leading to the production of TDP-4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-D-galactose (TDP-Fuc4N). WecE also transaminated TDP-4-keto 6-deoxy-D-mannose (TDP-D-Man4O), but not GDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-D-mannose (GDP-D-Man4O, the substrate of perosamine aminotransferase).
