Protein name

RecName: Full=4-alpha-L-fucosyltransferase; EC=2.4.1.-; AltName: Full=TDP-Fuc4NAc:lipid II Fuc4NAc transferase; Short=Fuc4NAc transferase;

Gene name

wecF, rffT

FUNCTION: Catalyzes the synthesis of Und-PP-GlcNAc-ManNAcA-Fuc4NAc (Lipid III), the third lipid-linked intermediate involved in ECA synthesis (By similarity).

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: TDP-Fuc4NAc + Und-PP-GlcNAc-ManNAcA = TDP + Und-PP-GlcNAc-ManNAcA-Fuc4NAc.

PATHWAY: Bacterial outer membrane biogenesis; enterobacterial common antigen biosynthesis.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell inner membrane; Peripheral membrane protein (Potential).

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 56 family.
