BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
2-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-glycerol:phosphate beta-D-glucosyltransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
2-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-glycerol + phosphate = beta-D-glucose 1-phosphate + glycerol [RN:
R11127 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
2-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-glycerol [CPD:
C11546 ];
phosphate [CPD:
C00009 ]
Product
beta-D-glucose 1-phosphate [CPD:
C00663 ];
glycerol [CPD:
C00116 ]
Comment
The enzyme has been isolated from the bacterium Bacillus selenitireducens. In the absence of glycerol the enzyme produces alpha-D-glucopyranose and phosphate from beta-D-glucopyranose 1-phosphate. In this reaction the glucosyl residue is transferred to a water molecule with an inversion of the anomeric conformation.
