Function in Native Organism 1) Aah is a heptosyltransferase which transfers a heptose sugar to acceptor protein AIDA.
Additional Information1) AAH is the prototype of a new large family of bacterial protein O-glycosyltransferases that modify different substrates containing a structural motif of 19 amino acid consensus sequence.
2) Iron binding is required for AAH glycosyltransferase activity.
3) AAH and its paralogue AAH2 are heptosylating autotransporter AIDA-1 which is essential for pathogenesis and colonization in mice.
