Reaction: D-sedoheptulose 7-phosphate = D-glycero-D-manno-heptose 7-phosphate
Other name(s): sedoheptulose-7-phosphate isomerase; phosphoheptose isomerase; gmhA (gene name); lpcA (gene name)
Systematic name: D-glycero-D-manno-heptose 7-phosphate aldose-ketose-isomerase
Comments: In Gram-negative bacteria the enzyme is involved in biosynthesis of ADP-L-glycero-β-D-manno-heptose, which is utilized for assembly of the lipopolysaccharide inner core. In Gram-positive bacteria the enzyme is involved in biosynthesis of GDP-D-glycero-α-D-manno-heptose, which is required for assembly of S-layer glycoprotein.
