Glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase (EC 2.6.1.16) catalyses the first and practically irreversible step in the hexosamine metabolism pathway, the end product of which, uridine 5'-diphospho-N-acetyl D-glucosamine, is an essential substrate for assembly of the cell wall. The isomerase domain, consisting of residues 346-712 (42 kDa), of glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase from Candida albicans has been crystallized. X-ray analysis revealed that the crystals belonged to space group I4, with unit-cell para ...[more]
