FunFam 289861: UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 4,6-dehydratase (inverting...

There are 3 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
UDP-glucose 4-epimerase. [EC: 5.1.3.2]
UDP-alpha-D-glucose = UDP-alpha-D-galactose.
  • Also acts on UDP-2-deoxyglucose.

UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 4,6-dehydratase (inverting). [EC: 4.2.1.115]
UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine = UDP-2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-beta-L- arabino-hex-4-ulose + H(2)O.
  • The first enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway of pseudaminic acid, a sialic-acid-like sugar that is unique to bacteria and is used by Helicobacter pylori to modify its flagellin.
  • Plays a critical role in H.pylori's pathogenesis, being involved in the synthesis of both functional flagella and lipopolysaccharides.
  • Completely inhibited by UDP-alpha-D-galactose.
  • The reaction results in the chirality of the C-5 atom being inverted.
  • It is thought that Lys-133 acts sequentially as a catalytic acid, protonating the C-6 hydroxy group and as a catalytic base, abstracting the C-5 proton, resulting in the elimination of water.

UDP-glucose 4,6-dehydratase. [EC: 4.2.1.76]
UDP-alpha-D-glucose = UDP-4-dehydro-6-deoxy-alpha-D-glucose + H(2)O.
