This enzyme participates in the biosynthetic pathway for UDP-alpha-D-ManNAc3NAcA (UDP-2,3-diacetamido-2,3-dideoxy-alpha-D-mannuronic acid), an important precursor of B-band lipopolysaccharide. The enzymes from Pseudomonas aeruginosa serotype O5 and Thermus thermophilus form a complex with the the enzyme catalysing the next step the pathway (EC 2.6.1.98, UDP-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-ribo-hexuluronate aminotransferase). The enzyme also possesses an EC 1.1.99.2 (L-2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase) activity, and utilizes the 2-oxoglutarate produced by EC 2.6.1.98 to regenerate the tightly bound NAD+. The enzymes from Bordetella pertussis and Chromobacterium violaceum do not bind NAD+ as tightly and do not require 2-oxoglutarate to function.
enzyme WbpB is part of the B-band O-antigen pathway of Pseudomonas aeruginosa lipopolysaccharide. Proteins WbpB and WbpE are a dehydrogenase/aminotransferase pair that converts UDP-GlcNAcA to UDP-GlcNAc(3NH2)A in a coupled reaction via a NAD+ recycling pathway
isolated enzyme EWbpB in presence of UDP-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucuronate and NAD+ does not show enzymic activity. Upon the addition of WbpE and L-glutamate to the reaction, complete turnover of the starting material and the formation of UDP-2-acetamido-3-amino-2,3-dideoxy-D-glucuronic acid are observed. No turnover is observed in the presence of UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine or UDP-UDP-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, and only minimal turnover is observed when UDP-D-glucuronic acid is used as the nucleotide sugar substrate. Enzyme WbpB prefers the glucopyranose configuration of the sugar as well as the presence of both the carboxylate at the C'' carbon and the acetylated amine at the C'' position. WbpE is specific for L-glutamate as the amine donor. Presence of 2-ketoglutarate is required as oxidant for NAD+ recycling
the reaction mechanism is sequential, enzyme does not require 2-ketoglutarate for activity. No substrates: UDP-glucose, UDP-galactose, UDP-N-acetylglucosamine
the reaction mechanism is sequential, enzyme does not require 2-oxoglutarate for activity. No substrates: UDP-glucose, UDP-galactose, UDP-N-acetylglucosamine

in presence of NAD(H) and substrate to 2.13 A and 1.5 A resolution. Enzyme displays octameric quaternary structure with the active sites positioned far apart. The octamers can be envisioned as tetramers of dimers. The carboxylate group attached to the C-5' carbon of the hexose in the natural substrate, UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminuronic acid, is held firmly in place in the enzyme WlbA active site by the side chains of Arg165 and Tyr169
crystal structure of the enzyme in a complex with NAD(H), to 1.5 A resolution. The tetrameric enzyme assumes an unusual quaternary structure with the dinucleotides positioned quite closely to one another. Both 2-oxoglutarate and the UDP-linked sugar bind in the enzyme active site with their carbon atoms, C-2 and C-3', respectively, abutting the re face of the cofactor. They are positioned about 3 A from the nicotinamide C-4. The UDP-linked sugar substrate adopts a highly unusual curved conformation when bound in the enzyme's active site cleft

Residues Lys101 and His185 most likely play key roles in catalysis
