Identification
Name:Alpha,alpha-trehalose-phosphate synthase [UDP-forming]
Synonyms:
  • Osmoregulatory trehalose synthesis protein A
  • Trehalose-6-phosphate synthase
  • UDP-glucose-glucosephosphate glucosyltransferase
Gene Name:otsA
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in catalytic activity
Specific Function:Catalyzes the transfer of glucose from UDP-glucose to glucose-6-phosphate to form alpha,alpha-1,1 trehalose-6-phosphate. Acts with retention of the anomeric configuration of the UDP-sugar donor. Essential for viability of the cells at low temperatures and at elevated osmotic strength
