beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase mutant Cys342Thr complex with alpha-lactalbumin and GlcNAcbeta-1,4-galactosyltransferase mutant Cys342Thr complex with alpha-lactalbumin and GlcNAc
Structural highlights
1nmm is a 4 chain structure with sequence from Bos taurus and Mus musculus. This structure supersedes the now removed PDB entry 1jn8. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
LALBA_MOUSE Regulatory subunit of lactose synthase, changes the substrate specificity of galactosyltransferase in the mammary gland making glucose a good acceptor substrate for this enzyme. This enables LS to synthesize lactose, the major carbohydrate component of milk. In other tissues, galactosyltransferase transfers galactose onto the N-acetylglucosamine of the oligosaccharide chains in glycoproteins.
