Figure 4. Pathways for biosynthesis of common UDP-linked sugar precursors.

Figure 4

Common UDP-linked sugar precursors derived from glucose-6-phophate are boxed. Arrows denote the direction of each reaction, and the enzyme name is adjacent. Enzymes highlighted in bold are encoded by genes in module B (Figure 3). Abbreviations: UDP-D-GlcpNAc is UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine; UDP-D-Glcp is UDP-D-glucose; UDP-D-GlcpA is UDP-D-glucuronic acid; UDP-D-Galp is UDP-D-galactose; D-Glcp-6-P is glucose-6-phosphate; L-Frup-6-P is fructose-6-phosphate; D-Glcp-1-P is glucose-1-phosphate; UDP-D-GalpNAc is UDP-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine; UDP-D-GlcpNAcA is UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminuronic acid; UDP-D-GalpNAcA is UDP-N-acetyl-D-galactosaminuronic acid.
