UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine = UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-mannosamine
ordered mechanism, where UDP is the first product released followed by irreversible formation of N-acetyl-mannosamine. A two step mechanism is proposed which involves the elimination of UDP from UDP-N-acetylglucosamine to give a 2-acetamidoglucal intermediate which is subsequently converted to N-acetylmannosamine; products: UDP + N-acetyl-D-mannosamine
-
UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine = UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-mannosamine
during epimerization, tritium from tritium-enriched water is incorporated into both UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and UDP-N-acetyl-D-mannosamine
-
UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine = UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-mannosamine
the mechanism involves a trans-elimination of monoprotic UDP to form 2-acetamidoglucal. Followed by a syn-addition, in the direction of UDP-N-acetyl-D-mannosamine formation
-
UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine = UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-mannosamine
mechanism proceeds via cleavage of the anomeric C-O bond, with 2-acetamidoglucal and UDP as enzyme-bound intermediates. It is likely that E1-eliminations via oxocarbenium intermediates are involved in the reaction
-
UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine = UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-mannosamine
2-epimerase-catalyzed elimination and readdition of UDP to the glycal intermediate may proceed through a transition state with significant oxocarbenium ion-like character

Homology modeling and molecular docking. The formation of UDP-GlcNAc or UDP-ManNAc is not observed by incubating NmSacA-His6 with 2-acetamidoglucal and UDP in contrast to the serogroup B enzyme.

GNE interacts with proteins involved in the regulation of development, e.g. the transcription factor promyelotic leukemia zinc finger protein, which might play a crucial role in the hereditary inclusion body myopathy. GNE is regulated by a variety of biochemical means, including tetramerization promoted by the substrate UDP-GlcNAc, phosphorylation by protein kinase C and feedback inhibition by CMP-Neu5Ac, which is defect in the human disease sialuria. Multienzyme complexes of GNE with the other enzymes of the sialic acid biosynthesis pathway, either close to the Golgi CMP sialic acid transporter or in particular with the nuclear localized CMP-sialic acid synthetase, are possible

evolution
the bacterial UDP-GlcNAc-binding site is conserved and probably unique to the nonhydrolyzing bacterial 2-epimerases. Conservation of the allosteric site residues in the nonhydrolyzing bacterial 2-epimerases indicates that the allosteric regulatory mechanism, which involves direct interaction between one substrate molecule in the active site and another in the allosteric site, is used exclusively by this class of bacterial enzymes

malfunction
-
enzyme deficiency causes the disease sialuria in humans. Hereditary inclusion body myopathy, h-IBM, is also a disease caused by different mutations in the GNE gene, it is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder characterized by adult onset, slowly progressive skeletal muscle weakness, and typical histological features as rimmed vacuoles and filamentous inclusions. Sialuria is caused by the loss of feedback control of UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase activity due to the mutation of only one of the two arginine residues 263 and 266. Sialuria leads to massive production of free Neu5Ac, which accumulates in the cytoplasm and results in mental retardation and hepatomegaly

Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A / serotype 4A
SacA is proposed to be involved in the first step in serogroup A capsular polysaccharides (CPS) biosynthetic pathway and is critical for serogroup A CPS biosynthesis. It catalyzes the interconversion between UDP-GlcNAc and UDP-ManNAc. This epimerization process is independent of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidized form (NAD+) and is critical for synthesizing bacterial ManNAc-containing CPSs

GneZ, a UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase, is required for S-layer assembly and vegetative growth of Bacillus anthracis. Gene gneZ, but not gneY, is required for Bacillus anthracis vegetative growth, rod cell shape, S-layer assembly, and synthesis of pyruvylated secondary cell wall polysaccharide (SCWP). Nevertheless, inducible expression of gneY alleviates all the defects associated with the gneZ mutant. In contrast to vegetative growth, neither germination of Bacillus anthracis spores nor the formation of spores in mother cells require UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase activity. UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase enzymes have been shown to be required for the attachment of the phage lysin PlyG with the bacterial envelope and for bacterial growth. UDG-GlcNAc 2-epimerase activity, i.e., the expression of either gneY or gneZ, is not required for B. anthracis spore formation; GneZ, a UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase, is required for S-layer assembly and vegetative growth of Bacillus anthracis.

of the six major disease-causing Neisseria meningitidis serogroups, only serogroups A and X produce capsular polysaccharides (CPSs) that do not have N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac, sialic acid is a more general term) residues. Unlike the CPSs of serogroups B and C which are homopolymers of Neu5Ac with alpha2-8- and alpha2-9-linkages respectively, or serogroups W-135 and Y CPSs which are heteropolymers of [-6Gal/Glcalpha1-4Neu5Acalpha2-]n with alternating Neu5Ac and Gal/Glc as disaccharide repeating units, the CPS of serogroup A is a homopolymer of [-6ManNAcalpha1-phosphate-]n.

functional expression in Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia pastoris or insect cells. In all cell types, the expressed enzyme displayes both epimerase and kinase activities. In Escherichia coli up to 2 mg protein/l cell culture is expressed in yeast cells only 0.4 mg/ml, in insect cells up to 100 mg/L. In all three cell systems, insoluble protein aggregates are also observed. Expression and purification of the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase in Sf-900 cells can yield the miligram amount of protein required for structural characterization of the enzyme.
