General annotation (Comments)

Function

Catalyzes the transfer of glucose from UDP-glucose to glucose-6-phosphate to form alpha,alpha-1,1 trehalose-6-phosphate. Acts with retention of the anomeric configuration of the UDP-sugar donor. Essential for viability of the cells at low temperatures and at elevated osmotic strength. Ref.6 Ref.7

Catalytic activity

UDP-glucose + D-glucose 6-phosphate = UDP + alpha,alpha-trehalose 6-phosphate.

Enzyme regulation

Activated by potassium and other monovalent cations at 0.25 M. Partially inhibited at greater concentrations. Ref.6

Pathway

Glycan biosynthesis; trehalose biosynthesis.

Subunit structure

Homotetramer. Ref.8

Induction

By cold-shock and osmotic-shock. Ref.6 Ref.7

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 20 family.
