| Comments | This enzyme catalyses the synthesis of?N-acetyl-¦Á-D-glucosaminyl-diphospho-ditrans,octacis-undecaprenol, an essential lipid intermediate for the biosynthesis of various bacterial cell envelope components. The enzyme also initiates the biosynthesis of enterobacterial common antigen and O-antigen lipopolysaccharide in certain?Escherichia coli?strains, including K-12 [2] and of teichoic acid in certain Gram-positive bacteria [4]. |
