UDP-sugar pyrophosphorylase (BlUSP)

UDP-sugar pyrophosphorylase (BlUSP) is the enzyme capable of activating glucose-1-phosphate (Glc-1-P) to UDP-glucose (UDP-Glc) . UDP-sugar pyrophosphorylase (BlUSP) catalyzes a reversible transfer of the uridyl group from UTP to sugar-1-phosphate, producing UDP-sugar and pyrophosphate (PPi) [1].
