WbpE, an Aminotransferase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa Involved in O-antigen Assembly in Complex with the Cofactor PMPWbpE, an Aminotransferase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa Involved in O-antigen Assembly in Complex with the Cofactor PMP
Structural highlights
3nu7 is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
WBPE_PSEAE Plays a role in the biosynthesis of B-band O antigen for serotype O5. Catalyzes the amination of UDP-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-oxo-D-glucuronic acid (UDP-3-oxo-D-GlcNAcA) to UDP-2-acetamido-3-amino-2,3-dideoxy-D-glucuronic acid (UDP-GlcNAc3NA), using L-glutamate as the preferred amine donor.[1][2][3]
