Protein
CDP-abequose synthase
Organism
Yersinia pseudotuberculosis
Function
The CDP-abequose synthase is involved in lipopolysaccharides (LPS) synthesis containing abequose which are important antigens of the cell surface responsible for the serological O specificity. Derivatives of the 3,6-dideoxyhexose group have a particular highly immunogenic character.
Similarity
Belongs to the NAD(P)-dependent epimerase/dehydratase family.
