NameGDP-L-colitose biosynthesis
TypeMETAPATH
DescriptionGDP-L-colitose, a 3,6-dideoxy hexose sugar is formed from GDP-4-ket-6-deoxymannose in a two-step reaction carried out by the ColC and ColD gene products. Colitose is a component of the O111 and O55 E. coli O-antigens.
JCVI RoleBiosynthesis and degradation of surface polysaccharides and lipopolysaccharides
