LITERATURE
evolution
UDP-Gal 4-epimerases and the other GalE-like UDP-sugar 4-epimerases belong to the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) superfamily of proteins. Classification of UDP-hexose 4-epimerases into three groups with distinct substrate promiscuity. Group 1 contains the 4-epimerases that exhibit a strong preference for non-acetylated substrates (such as Escherichia coli enzyme eGalE), group 2 members can epimerize both non-acetylated and N-acetylated substrates equally well (such as the human enzyme hGalE), and group 3 epimerases are very specific for N-acetylated substrates (like the WbpP from Pseudomonas aeruginosa)
metabolism
UDP-sugar 4-epimerase (GalE) is one of enzymes in the Leloir pathway
physiological function
UDP-galactose 4-epimerase is important for the biosynthesis of other polysaccharide structures, such as capsular polysaccharide (CPS), or extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) from Streptococcus thermophilus, one of the most widely used bacteria in the dairy industry
