Protein
Kanosamine-6-phosphate phosphatase
Organism
Bacillus subtilis (strain 168)
Function
Involved in the biosynthesis of kanosamine (3-amino-3-deoxy-D-glucose), which is known to have antibiotic and antifungal properties, and to be a precursor of the antibiotic neotrehalosadiamine (3,3'-diamino-3,3'-dideoxy-alpha,beta-trehalose (NTD)). Catalyzes the dephosphorylation of kanosamine 6-phosphate to yield kanosamine. There is a trace amount of activity using glucosamine-6-phosphate.
Similarity
Belongs to the HAD-like hydrolase superfamily. Cof family.
