Glycosyl transferase family 2. Diverse family, transferring sugar from UDP-glucose, UDP-N-acetyl- galactosamine, GDP-mannose or CDP-abequose, to a range of substrates including cellulose, dolichol phosphate and teichoic acids.
Subfamily of Glycosyltransferase Family GT2 of unknown function. GT-2 includes diverse families of glycosyltransferases with a common GT-A type structural fold, which has two tightly associated beta/alpha/beta domains that tend to form a continuous central sheet of at least eight beta-strands. These are enzymes that catalyze the transfer of sugar moieties from activated donor molecules to specific acceptor molecules, forming glycosidic bonds. Glycosyltransferases have been classified into more than 90 distinct sequence based families.
mycofactocin system glycosyltransferase. Members of this protein family are putative glycosyltransferases, members of pfam00535 (glycosyl transferase family 2). Members appear mostly in the Actinobacteria, where they appear to be part of a system for converting a precursor peptide (TIGR03969) into a novel redox carrier designated mycofactocin. A radical SAM enzyme, TIGR03962, is a proposed to be a key maturase for mycofactocin.
