General description

D-Glucosamine 6-phosphate, the natural form of glucosamine, is a monosaccharide produced during hexosamine biosynthesis pathway by the enzyme glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase from the two substrates fructose 6-phosphate and glutamine.

Linkage

Stability is greater than that of the sodium salt.

N-Acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate deacetylase (NagA) and glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase (NagB) are branch point enzymes that direct amino sugars into different pathways. For Staphylococcus aureus NagA, analytical ultracentrifugation and small-angle X-ray scattering data demonstrate that it is an asymmetric dimer in solution. Initial rate experiments

Microbial communities are self-controlled by repertoires of lethal agents, the antibiotics. In their turn, these antibiotics are regulated by bioscavengers that are selected in the course of evolution. Kinase-mediated phosphorylation represents one of the general strategies for the emergence of

A novel post-translational modification of threonine, β-N-acetylglucosaminyl-phosphate, was recently discovered on assembly protein AP180, a protein which plays a crucial role in clathrin coated vesicle formation in synaptic vesicle endocytosis (SVE). Herein, we report studies aimed at probing the effect

Glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase (GlmS) is responsible for the first and rate-limiting step in the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway. It catalyzes the conversion of D-fructose-6P (F6P) into D-glucosamine-6P (GlcN6P) using L-glutamine (Gln) as nitrogen donor (synthase activity) according to an ordered bi-bi process
