glycosyltransferase
Mutations in this domain of Swiss:P37287 lead to disease (Paroxysmal Nocturnal haemoglobinuria). Members of this family transfer activated sugars to a variety of substrates, including glycogen, Fructose-6-phosphate and lipopolysaccharides. Members of this family transfer UDP, ADP, GDP or CMP linked sugars. The eukaryotic glycogen synthases may be distant members of this family. (from Pfam)
N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl L-malate synthase BshA
N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl L-malate synthase BshA catalyzes the first step of the bacillithiol (BSH) biosynthetic pathway, the formation of N-acetylglucosaminylmalate (GlcNAc-Mal) from UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) and L-malate
Members of this protein family are BshA, a glycosyltransferase required for bacillithiol biosynthesis. This enzyme combines UDP-GlcNAc and L-malate to form N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl L-malate synthase. Bacillithiol is a low-molecular-weight thiol, an analog of glutathione and mycothiol, and is found largely in the Firmicutes.
