UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase interacts with the non-muscle form of alpha-actinin, alpha-actinin-1, in mature skeletal muscle cells. No significant difference in the binding of alpha-actinin-1 with either wild-type or mutant enzyme, and therefore no conclusions wether and how the interaction is relevant to the muscle-restricted pathology of hereditary inclusion body myopathy
synthesis
-
transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants expressing three key enzymes of the mammalian Neu5Ac biosynthesis pathway: UDPN-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase, N-acetylneuraminic acid phosphate synthase, and CMP-Nacetylneuraminic acid synthetase. Simultaneous expression of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase and N-acetylneuraminic acid phosphate synthase results in the generation of significant Neu5Ac amounts of 1275 nmol per g fresh weight in leaves, which can be further converted to cytidine monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid by coexpression of CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid synthetase
