dTDP-4-dehydro-6-deoxyglucose reductase

The enzymes from the Gram-negative bacteria Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Escherichia coli O52 are involved in activation of fucose for incorporation into capsular polysaccharide O-antigens. The enzyme from the Gram-positive bacterium Anoxybacillus tepidamans (Geobacillus tepidamans) is involved in activation of fucose for incorporation into the organism's S-layer. The enzyme from Escherichia coli O52 has a higher catalytic efficiency with NADH than with NADPH.
