Gene

wecD

Protein

dTDP-fucosamine acetyltransferase

Organism

Escherichia coli O6:H1 (strain CFT073 / ATCC 700928 / UPEC)

Length

224 amino acids

Function

Catalyzes the acetylation of dTDP-fucosamine (dTDP-4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-D-galactose) to dTDP-Fuc4NAc, which is utilized in the biosynthesis of the enterobacterial common antigen (ECA).
