Conformational Control of UDP-Galactopyranose Mutase Inhibition.

Biochemistry - 1 Aug 2017

Wangkanont Kittikhun, Winton Valerie J, Forest Katrina T, Kiessling Laura L

Abstract excerpt

UDP-galactopyranose mutase (Glf or UGM) catalyzes the formation of uridine 5'-diphosphate-α-d-galactofuranose (UDP-Galf) from UDP-galactopyranose (UDP-Galp). The enzyme is required for the production of Galf-containing glycans. UGM is absent in mammals, but members of the Corynebacterineae suborder require UGM for cell envelope biosynthesis. The need for UGM in some pathogens has prompted the search for...
