UDP + beta-D-Glc-(1->3)-alpha-D-GlcNAc-diphospho-11-phenoxyundecanol
Substrates: the enzyme requires the diphosphate-sugar linkage in the acceptor substrate for full activity. Substrates lacking diphosphate linked to GlcNAc are inactive. An acceptor analog containing a single phosphate group (D-GlcNAc-alpha-P-(CH2)11-O-Ph) shows 1% activity. The phenyl group is not required for activity. The length of the aliphatic chain of acceptor substrates also contributes to the activity. The synthetic acceptor N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl-diphospho-11-phenoxyundecaprenol is an analog of the natural undecaprenol-diphosphate-sugar acceptor substrate. No activity with CMP-sialic acid, UDP-GlcNAc, UDP-GalNAc, or GDP-Man as donor substrate. UDP-Gal shows 0.6% of the activity compared to UDP-D-glucose
