2.4.1.73 |
| Accepted name: |
lipopolysaccharide glucosyltransferase II |
| Reaction: |
UDP-glucose + lipopolysaccharide = UDP + α-D-glucosyl-lipopolysaccharide |
| Other name(s): |
uridine diphosphoglucose-galactosylpolysaccharide glucosyltransferase |
| Systematic name: |
UDP-glucose:galactosyl-lipopolysaccharide α-D-glucosyltransferase |
| Comments: |
Transfers glucosyl residues to the D-galactosyl-D-glucosyl side-chains in the partially completed core of lipopolysaccharides. cf. EC 2.4.1.44 (lipopolysaccharide 3-α-galactosyltransferase), EC 2.4.1.56 (lipopolysaccharide N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase) and EC 2.4.1.58 (lipopolysaccharide glucosyltransferase I). |
