This bacterial PGM-like (phosphoglucomutase-like) protein of unknown function belongs to the alpha-D-phosphohexomutase superfamily. The alpha-D-phosphohexomutases include several related enzymes that catalyze a reversible intramolecular phosphoryl transfer on their sugar substrates. Other members of this superfamily include phosphoglucosamine mutase (PNGM), phosphoacetylglucosamine mutase (PAGM), the bacterial phosphomannomutase ManB, the bacterial phosphoglucosamine mutase GlmM, and the bifunctional phosphomannomutase/phosphoglucomutase (PMM/PGM). Each of these enzymes has four domains with a centrally located active site formed by four loops, one from each domain. All four domains are included in this alignment model.
Comment:Based on the structures of Candida albicans AGM1 (N-Acetylglucosamine-phosphate mutase) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa PMM/PGM bound to their substrates and divalent metal ions.
