UniProt functional annotation for Q9ZGH4

UniProt code: Q9ZGH4.

Organism: Streptomyces venezuelae.
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Streptomycetales; Streptomycetaceae; Streptomyces.
 
Function: Involved in the biosynthesis of dTDP-alpha-D-desosamine, a sugar found in several bacterial macrolide antibiotics. Catalyzes the reversible transfer of the amino group from L-glutamate to the C-3 position of dTDP-3-keto-4,6-deoxyglucose to yield dTDP-3-amino-3,4,6- trideoxyglucose. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:17456741}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=2-oxoglutarate + dTDP-3-amino-3,4,6-trideoxy-alpha-D-glucose = dTDP-3-dehydro-4,6-dideoxy-alpha-D-glucose + L-glutamate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:39907, ChEBI:CHEBI:16810, ChEBI:CHEBI:29985, ChEBI:CHEBI:63262, ChEBI:CHEBI:76280; EC=2.6.1.106; Evidence={ECO:0000305|PubMed:17456741};
Cofactor: Name=pyridoxal 5'-phosphate; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:597326; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:17456741};
Pathway: Antibiotic biosynthesis. {ECO:0000305}.
Subunit: Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17456741}.
Similarity: Belongs to the degT/dnrJ/eryC1 family. {ECO:0000305}.
