Identification
Name:UDP-glucose:undecaprenyl-phosphate glucose-1-phosphate transferase
Synonyms:Not Available
Gene Name:wcaJ
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:lipopolysaccharide biosynthetic process
Specific Function:Is the initiating enzyme for colanic acid (CA) synthesis. Catalyzes the transfer of the glucose-1-phosphate moiety from UDP-Glc onto the carrier lipid undecaprenyl phosphate (C55-P), forming a phosphoanhydride bond yielding to glucosyl-pyrophosphoryl-undecaprenol (Glc-PP-C55). Also possesses a weak galactose-1-P transferase activity.
