Protein
Dodecaprenyl-phosphate galacturonate synthase
Organism
Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae (strain 3841)
Function
Glycosyltransferase that catalyzes the synthesis of dodecaprenyl-phosphate galacturonate (Dod-P-GalA), likely from UDP-GalA and dodecaprenyl-phosphate. Dod-P-GalA is the lipid donor required for GalA transfer to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) specific residues catalyzed by the GalA transferases RgtA, RgtB, RgtC and RgtD.
Similarity
Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 2 family.
