Function
GLFT2_MYCTU Involved in the polymerization of the arabinogalactan (AG) region of the mycolylarabinogalactan-peptidoglycan (mAGP) complex, an essential component the mycobacteria cell wall, through successively beta-D-(1->5) and beta-D-(1->6)-galactofuranosyltransferases activities. It transfers the galactofuranosyl (Galf) unit from UDP-galactofuranosyl (UDP-Galf) onto the galactofuranosyl-rhamnosyl-GlcNAc-pyrophosphoryl-undecaprenyl (Galf-Rha-GlcNAc-PP-C55), yielding polygalactofuranosyl-rhamnosyl-GlcNAc-pyrophosphoryl-undecaprenyl ((Galf)x-Rha-GlcNAc-PP-C55). It is able to transfer Galf onto beta-D-(1->5) or beta-D-(1->6) linked acceptor, but has a stronger affinity for beta-D-(1->6) acceptor.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
