Description
Catalyzes the epimerization of beta-D-mannuronate to alpha-L-guluronate during the synthesis of the linear polysaccharide alginate (PubMed:8144447, PubMed:15968068, PubMed:16866359). In addition, is part of a periplasmic protein complex that protects alginate from degradation by AlgL by channeling the newly formed alginate polymer through a scaffold that transfers the alginate polymer through the periplasmic space to the outer membrane secretin AlgE (PubMed:12581364, PubMed:15968068).
Family
Belongs to the D-mannuronate C5-epimerase family.
Species
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (strain ATCC 15692 / DSM 22644 / CIP 104116 / JCM 14847 / LMG 12228 / 1C / PRS 101 / PAO1)
