UDP-N-acetylglucosamine kinase

UDP-N-acetylglucosamine kinase (EC 2.7.1.176, UNAG kinase, zeta toxin, toxin PezT, ATP:UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 3'-phosphotransferase) is an enzyme with systematic name ATP:UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine 3'-phosphotransferase.^[1]^[2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

ATP + UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine

\rightleftharpoons

ADP + UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosamine 3'-phosphate

The phosphorylation of UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine causes the inhibition of enzyme EC 2.5.1.7, UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 1-carboxyvinyltransferase.

These enzymes are found as part of plasmid-encoded^[3] and chromosomal^[4] bacterial toxin-antitoxin systems.
