Characterization of an aminotransferase from Acanthamoeba polyphaga Mimivirus.

Protein science : a publication of the Protein Society - 1 Sept 2021

Abstract excerpt

Acanthamoeba polyphaga Mimivirus, a complex virus that infects amoeba, was first reported in 2003. It is now known that its DNA genome encodes for nearly 1,000 proteins including enzymes that are required for the biosynthesis of the unusual sugar 4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-d-glucose, also known as d-viosamine. As observed in some bacteria, the pathway for the production of this sugar initiates with a nucleotide-linked...
