Alpha (1->4) glucosyltransferase; Glucosyltransferase that uses UDP-glucose as the sugar donor to elongate alpha-(1->4)-glucans. Is involved in the biosynthesis of both 6-O-methylglucosyl lipopolysaccharides (MGLP) and glycogen. May also use ADP-glucose as substrate.

Unknown protein; Sugar octanoyltransferase likely involved in the biosynthesis of mycobacterial methylglucose lipopolysaccharide (MGLP). Catalyzes the transfer of an octanoyl group from octanoyl-CoA to the C6 OH of the second glucose in diglucosylglycerate (DGG). DGG is the preferred acceptor, but to a lesser extent, GG (glucosylglycerate) can also be used as substrate. DGG and GG are the two earliest intermediates in MGLP biosynthesis.

Conserved protein; Catalyzes the formation of branch points in alpha-glucans by cleavage of an alpha-1,4 glycosidic bond and subsequent transfer of the cleaved-off oligosaccharide to a new alpha-1,6 position (Probable). Is probably involved in the biosynthesis of 6-O-methylglucosyl lipopolysaccharides (MGLP); Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 57 family.

Probable glucosyl-3-phosphoglycerate synthase GpgS; Involved in the biosynthesis of 6-O-methylglucose lipopolysaccarides (MGLPs). Catalyzes the transfer of a glucose (Glc) moiety from uridine diphosphate (UDP-Glc) to the position 2 of 3- phospho-D-glycerate (3-PGA) to form glucosyl-3-phosphoglycerate (GPG).
