EC 1.1.1.342

Accepted name: CDP-paratose synthase

Reaction: CDP-α-D-paratose + NADP+ = CDP-4-dehydro-3,6-dideoxy-α-D-glucose + NADPH + H+

Glossary: CDP-α-D-paratose = CDP-3,6-dideoxy-α-D-glucose = CDP-3,6-dideoxy-α-D-ribo-hexose

Other name(s): rfbS (gene name)

Systematic name: CDP-α-D-paratose:NADP+ 4-oxidoreductase

Comments: The enzyme is involved in synthesis of paratose and tyvelose, unusual 3,6-dideoxyhexose sugars that form part of the O-antigen in the lipopolysaccharides of several enteric bacteria. Isolated from Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhi (Salmonella typhi).
