Phosphomannomutase/ phosphoglucomutase
Phosphomannomutase or phosphoglucomutase (PMM/PGM) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa can catalyse the same reaction in two different substrates. It catalyses the transfer of a phosphoryl group from the 6 position to the 1 position in either mannose 6-P or glucose 6-P. PMM/PGM activity is required for the biosynthesis of lipopolysaccharides in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Enzyme Mechanism
Introduction
Residues Arg 20, His 109, Lys 118, Arg247 and His 329 along with cofactor Mg(II) form a positive electrostatic field. This decreases the pKa of the proton on the hydroxyl of C1 to such an extent as to cause spontaneous ionization. The substrate O atom then nucleophilically attacks the phosphorus of Sep 108, which acts as an electrophile, and the Serine O-P bond is broken. The above residues (and co-factor) then act to stabilise the Ser 108 alkoxide. Rotation of the substrate occurs, arranging the C6 phospho group toward Ser 108. Ser 108 then nucleophilically attacks the C6 phosphorus atom, breaking the P-O bond of the substrate. The substrate is then re-protonated to form the 1-P product.

| Ser108 | Sep108X(A) | Ser108 is post-translationally modified to contain a phosphate group. It donates this phospho group to the C1 position, then removes a phospho group from the C6 position of the substrate. It also forms part of the magnesium binding site (through the phosphate group). | nucleophile, nucleofuge, metal ligand |

Also helps stabilise the Ser 108 alkoxide. | hydrogen bond donor, electrostatic stabiliser |
| Asp244, Asp242, Asp246 | Asp244X(A), Asp242X(A), Asp246X(A) | Forms part of the magnesium binding site. | metal ligand |
