| Other name(s): |
manT (gene name) |
| Systematic name: |
GDP-α-D-mannose:[3-O-methyl-α-D-mannosyl-(1→4)]n-3-O-methyl-α-D-mannose [(1→4)-α-D-mannosyl]transferase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme, present in mycobacterial species that produce a 3-O-methylmannose polysaccharide (MMP), is involved in recycling and biosynthesis of the polymer. The enzyme has the highest activity with 3-O-methylated mannosides with 4-6 residues. The residue at the reducing end of the substrate is often dimethylated, with the second methyl group attached at the O-1 position. |
