Glucose-1-phosphate thymidylyltransferase

UniProtKB accession:  P26393

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the formation of dTDP-glucose, from dTTP and glucose 1-phosphate, as well as its pyrophosphorolysis. Is the first of four enzymes commited to biosynthesis of dTDP-L-rhamnose in S.typhimurium LT2. Is also able to convert non natural substrates such as a wide array of alpha-D-hexopyranosyl, deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl, aminodeoxy-alpha-D-hexopyranosyl and acetamidodeoxy-alpha-D-hexopyranosyl phosphates to their corresponding dTDP- and UDP-nucleotide sugars.
