Functional Family UDP-4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-N-acetyl-beta-L-altrosamine transaminase

Enzyme Information

2.6.1.92
UDP-4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-N-acetyl-beta-L-altrosamine transaminase.
based on mapping to UniProt O25130
UDP-4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-N-acetyl-beta-L-altrosamine + 2-oxoglutarate = UDP-2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-beta-L-arabino-hex-4-ulose + L-glutamate.
-!- The enzyme transfers the primary amino group of L-glutamate to C-4'' of UDP-4-dehydro sugars, forming a C-N bond in a stereo configuration opposite to that of UDP. -!- The enzyme from the bacterium Bacillus cereus has been shown to act on UDP-2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-beta-L-arabino-hex-4-ulose, UDP-beta- L-threo-pentapyranos-4-ulose, UDP-4-dehydro-6-deoxy-D-glucose, and UDP-2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-alpha-D-xylo-hex-4-ulose. -!- Cf. EC 2.6.1.34, which catalyzes a similar reaction, but forms the C-N bond in the same stereo configuration as that of UDP.
