This subfamily contains Escherichia coli WecA, Bacillus subtilis TagO and related proteins. WecA is an UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc):undecaprenyl-phosphate (Und-P) GlcNAc-1-phosphate transferase that catalyzes the formation of a phosphodiester bond between a membrane-associated undecaprenyl-phosphate molecule and N-acetylglucosamine 1-phosphate, which is usually donated by a soluble UDP-N-acetylglucosamine precursor. WecA participates in the biosynthesis of O antigen LPS in many enteric bacteria and is also involved in the biosynthesis of enterobacterial common antigen. A conserved short sequence motif and a conserved arginine at a cytosolic loop of this integral membrane protein were shown to be critical in recognition of substrate UDP-N-acetylglucosamine.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.
Tips:  If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position. The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs. Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below. Range on the Protein: Protein ID Protein Position Domain Position:
