UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-decaprenyl-phosphate N-acetylglucosaminephosphotransferase

Isolated from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium smegmatis. This enzyme catalyses the synthesis of monotrans,octacis-decaprenyl-N-acetyl-α-D-glucosaminyl diphosphate (mycobacterial lipid I), an essential lipid intermediate for the biosynthesis of various bacterial cell envelope components. cf. EC 2.7.8.33, UDP-GlcNAc:undecaprenyl-phosphate GlcNAc-1-phosphate transferase.
