FAD | structure analysis reveals UDP bound in the active site and galactopyranose linked to the FAD through a covalent bond between the anomeric C of galactopyranose and N5 of the FAD. The structure confirms the role of the flavin as nucleophile and supports the hypothesis that the proton destined for O5 of galactofuranose is shuttled from N5 of the FAD via O4 of the FAD | Aspergillus fumigatus |

additional information | structure analysis reveals UDP bound in the active site and galactopyranose linked to the FAD through a covalent bond between the anomeric C of galactopyranose and N5 of the FAD. The structure confirms the role of the flavin as nucleophile and supports the hypothesis that the proton destined for O5 of galactofuranose is shuttled from N5 of the FAD via O4 of the FAD. His63 is part of the conserved histidine loop, which has the sequence GGHVIF in AfUGM. All UGMs have Gly and His at positions 1 and 3 of the loop, respectively. The conformation of the His loop of AfUGM depends on the redox state of the flavin. The protein-flavin interactions are thought be essential for maintaining the active conformation of UGM | Aspergillus fumigatus |
physiological function | UDP-galactopyranose mutase (UGM) plays an essential role in galactofuranose biosynthesis in pathogens by catalyzing the conversion of UDP-galactopyranose to UDP-galactofuranose | Aspergillus fumigatus |
