Sysname
UDP-4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
UDP-N-acetylbacillosamine + 2-oxoglutarate = UDP-2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-alpha-D-xylo-hex-4-ulose + L-glutamate [RN:R04529]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
UDP-N-acetylbacillosamine [CPD:C04630];
2-oxoglutarate [CPD:C00026]
Product
UDP-2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-alpha-D-xylo-hex-4-ulose [CPD:C04613];
L-glutamate [CPD:C00025]
Comment
A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. The enzyme is involved in biosynthesis of UDP-N,N'-diacetylbacillosamine, an intermediate in protein glycosylation pathways in several bacterial species, including N-linked glycosylation of certain L-asparagine residues in Campylobacter species [2-4] and O-linked glycosylation of certain L-serine residues in Neisseria species [5].
