IUBMB Comments

The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Escherichia coli O55:H7, participates in the biosynthesis of an O-antigen. The reaction involves anomeric inversion, and does not require any metal ions. The enzyme is highly specific towards the acceptor, exclusively recognizing lacto-N-biose, but can accept GDP-L-fucose as the donor with almost the same activity as with GDP-β-L-colitose.

The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Escherichia coli

Synonyms
alpha1,2-ColT, wbgN, more
