Two different approaches to identify the gene encoding the phosphoglucosamine mutase in Escherichia coli were used: (i) the purification to near homogeneity of this enzyme from a wild type strain and the determination of its N-terminal amino acid sequence; (ii)

Aminoglycoside antibiotics are composed of aminosugars and a unique aminocyclitol aglycon including 2-deoxystreptamine (DOS), streptidine, actinamine, etc., and nucleotidylyltransferases, sugar modifying enzymes, and glycosyltransferases appear to be essential for their biosynthesis. However, the genes encoding those enzymes were unable to

Galactosamine is quickly metabolized to galactosamine 1-phosphate in rats treated with this compound. An HPLC method to quantify hexosamine phosphates in biological samples is described, modified from the o-phthaldialdehyde amino acid analysis procedure. o-Phthaldialdehyde derivatives of hexosamines and hexosamine-phosphates can

Archaea and eukaryotes share a dolichol phosphate-dependent system for protein N-glycosylation. In both domains, the acetamido sugar N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) forms part of the core oligosaccharide. However, the archaeal Methanococcales produce GlcNAc using the bacterial biosynthetic pathway. Key enzymes in this
