GDP-beta-L-colitose:beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1->3)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine L-colitosyltransferase (configuration-inverting)
The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Escherichia coli O55:H7, participates in the biosynthesis of an O-antigen. The reaction involves anomeric inversion, and does not require any metal ions. The enzyme is highly specific towards the acceptor, exclusively recognizing lacto-N-biose, but can accept GDP-L-fucose as the donor with almost the same activity as with GDP-beta-L-colitose.
