2.7.7.22 | GDP + alpha-D-mannose 1-phosphate |
GMP catalyzes the synthesis of GDP-mannose, an important step in the formation of all guanosine-containing sugar nucleotides in plants. The GDP-mannose produced by the enzymatic action of GMP plays vital roles in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, overview. The enzyme activity is correlated to the amount of ascorbic acid, overview |

GDP-mannose, the mannose donor, required for the main cryptococcal virulence factor, a polysaccharide capsule that surrounds the cell, is produced in the cytosol by the sequential actions of phosphomannose isomerase, phosphomannomutase, and GDP-mannose pyrophosphorylase. Cryptococcus neoformans is a fungal pathogen that is responsible for life-threatening disease, particularly in the context of compromised immunity |
