Type: | Family | Name: | Reversibly glycosylated polypeptide family |
Description: | The reversibly glycosylated polypeptide family includes UDP-arabinopyranose mutase (UAM) and alpha-1,4-glucan-protein synthase [UDP-forming] (UPTG). The former catalyses the interconvertion of UDP-L-arabinopyranose (UDP-Arap) and UDP-L-arabinofuranose (UDP-Araf), while the latter catalyses the reaction between UDP-glucose and a protein to produce UDP and alpha-D-glucosyl-protein. Both enzymes are involved in biosynthesis of cell wall polysaccharides in plants [, , , ]. | Short Name: | RGP_fam |
