DESCRIPTION

Also known as MET1_MYCHD, meT1. Involved in the biosynthesis of 3-O-methylmannose polysaccharides (MMP), which are intracellular polymethylated polysaccharides implicated in the modulation of fatty acid metabolism in non-tuberculous mycobacteria (PubMed:30606802). Specifically methylates the 1-OH position of 3, 3'-di-O-methyl-4alpha-mannobiose, a probable early precursor of MMP, yielding the reducing end dimannoside of MMP (PubMed:30606802). Homodimer.
