Protein Domain : IPR006352

Type:  Family Name:  Phosphoglucosamine mutase, bacterial type
Description:  The alpha-D-phosphohexomutase superfamily is composed of four related enzymes, each of which catalyses a phosphoryl transfer on their sugar substrates: phosphoglucomutase (PGM), phosphoglucomutase/phosphomannomutase (PGM/PMM), phosphoglucosamine mutase (PNGM), and phosphoacetylglucosamine mutase (PAGM) []. PGM () converts D-glucose 1-phosphate into D-glucose 6-phosphate, and participates in both the breakdown and synthesis of glucose []. PGM/PMM (; ) are primarily bacterial enzymes that use either glucose or mannose as substrate, participating in the biosynthesis of a variety of carbohydrates such as lipopolysaccharides and alginate [, ]. Both PNGM () and PAGM () are involved in the biosynthesis of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine [, ]. Despite differences in substrate specificity, these enzymes share a similar catalytic mechanism, converting 1-phospho-sugars to 6-phospho-sugars via a biphosphorylated 1,6-phospho-sugar. The active enzyme is phosphorylated at a conserved serine residue and binds one magnesium ion; residues around the active site serine are well conserved among family members. The reaction mechanism involves phosphoryl transfer from the phosphoserine to the substrate to create a biophosphorylated sugar, followed by a phosphoryl transfer from the substrate back to the enzyme [].The structures of PGM and PGM/PMM have been determined, and were found to be very similar in topology. These enzymes are both composed of four domains and a large central active site cleft, where each domain contains residues essential for catalysis and/or substrate recognition. Domain I contains the catalytic phosphoserine, domain II contains a metal-binding loop to coordinate the magnesium ion, domain III contains the sugar-binding loop that recognises the two different binding orientations of the 1- and 6-phospho-sugars, and domain IV contains a phosphate-binding site required for orienting the incoming phospho-sugar substrate.This family describes GlmM, phosphoglucosamine mutase, also designated MrsA and YhbF in Escherichia coli[], UreC in Helicobacter pylori[], and femR315 or FemD in Staphylococcus aureus[]. It converts glucosamine-6-phosphate to glucosamine-1-phosphate as part of the pathway toward UDP-N-acetylglucosamine for peptidoglycan and lipopolysaccharides. Short Name:  GlmM_bact
