pseudaminic acid cytidylyltransferase The sequences in this family include the pfam02348 (cytidyltransferase) domain and are homologous to the NeuA protein responsible for the transfer of CMP to neuraminic acid. According to, this gene is responsible for the transfer of CMP to the structurally related sugar, pseudaminic acid which is observed as a component of sugar modifications of flagellin in Campylobacter species. This gene is commonly observed in apparent operons with other genes responsible for the biosynthesis of pseudaminic acid and as a component of flagellar and exopolysaccharide biosynthesis loci.
