| Glossary: |
mycothiol = 1-O-[2-(N2-acetyl-L-cysteinamido)-2-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranosyl]-1D-myo-inositol |
| Other name(s): |
mycothiol glycosyltransferases; MshA; UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine:1D-myo-inositol 3-phosphate α-D-glycosyltransferase |
| Systematic name: |
UDP-N-acetyl-α-D-glucosamine:1D-myo-inositol 3-phosphate α-D-glycosyltransferase (configuration-retaining) |
| Comments: |
The enzyme, which belongs to the GT-B fold superfamily, catalyses the first dedicated reaction in the biosynthesis of mycothiol [1]. The substrate was initially believed to be inositol, but eventually shown to be D-myo-inositol 3-phosphate [2]. A substantial conformational change occurs upon UDP binding, which generates the binding site for D-myo-inositol 3-phosphate [3]. |
