Protein
N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl L-malate synthase
Organism
Bacillus subtilis (strain 168)
Function
Involved in bacillithiol (BSH) biosynthesis. Catalyzes the first step of the pathway, the formation of N-acetylglucosaminylmalate (GlcNAc-Mal) from UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) and L-malate.
Similarity
Belongs to the glycosyltransferase group 1 family. Glycosyltransferase 4 subfamily.
