Glucosylglycerate synthase (EC 2.4.1.268, Ggs (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name ADP-glucose:D-glycerate 2-alpha-D-glucosyltransferase.[1] It catalyses the following chemical reaction
-D-glyceric_acid.svg)
The enzyme characterised from Persephonella marina transfers a glucosyl group from adenosine diphosphate glucose to D-glyceric acid, giving 2-O-(α-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-glyceric acid (glucosylglycerate), with adenosine diphosphate (ADP) as a byproduct.[2] It has also been found in Petrotoga mobilis. In both these thermophilic organisms, the product protects againt osmotic stress.[3]
