UDP-N-acetyl-D-mannosaminuronic acid

CAS: 25174-34-9

UDP-N-acetyl-D-mannosaminuronic acid is a monosaccharide that is synthesized from UDP and N-acetyl-D-mannosamine. It is an important precursor for the synthesis of glycoproteins, lipopolysaccharides, and proteoglycans in bacteria. Mutants have been identified in Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus that lack the enzyme UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2’:3’ phosphotransferase, which is required for the biosynthesis of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine. The enzyme responsible for this reaction is acetamidase/uridine diphosphate mannosyltransferase. This enzyme catalyzes the transfer of mannose from uridine diphosphate (UDP) to N acetylglucosamine to form UDP N acetyl D mannosaminuronic acid
