N-acetyl-glucosamine-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GlmU), C-terminal left-handed beta-helix (LbH) acetyltransferase domain: GlmU is also known as UDP-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase. It is a bifunctional bacterial enzyme that catalyzes two consecutive steps in the formation of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc), an important precursor in bacterial cell wall formation. The two enzymatic activities, uridyltransferase and acetyltransferase, are carried out by two independent domains. The C-terminal LbH domain possesses the acetyltransferase activity. It catalyzes the CoA-dependent acetylation of GlcN-1-phosphate to GlcNAc-1-phosphate. The LbH domain contains 10 turns, each containing three imperfect tandem repeats of a hexapeptide repeat motif (X-[STAV]-X-[LIV]-[GAED]-X. The acetyltransferase active site is located at the interface between two subunits of the active LbH trimer.
