TargetSp17+-+N-acylmannosamine+kinase+(Streptococcus+pneumoniae)

https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi#alnHdr_882952178 Essentiality of this protein: Sialic acid (N-acetylneuraminic acid; NeuNAc) is one of the most important carbohydrates for Streptococcus pneumoniae due of its role as a carbon and energy source, receptor for adhesion and invasion and molecular signal for promotion of biofilm formation, nasopharyngeal carriage, and invasion of the lung. ** Druggable Target (list number or cite evidence from a paper/database showing druggable in another organism): ** “Many biological processes are controlled by cell surface sialylation. To gather further insight into these processes, methods to alter cell surface sialylation are required. One way to achieve this is inhibiting the key enzyme of silica acid de novo biosynthesis, the intracellular bifunctional UDP-N-acetylglucosamine epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE/MNK).” [|http://www.nrcresearchpress.com/doi/abs/10.1139/cjc-2015-0603#.WQ_KmlLMy9Y] **EC#:** 2.7.1.60 Link to BRENDA EC# page: http://www.brenda-enzymes.org/enzyme.php?ecno=2.7.1.60 **Show screenshot of BRENDA enzyme mechanism schematic:** **Enzyme Assay information (spectrophotometric, coupled assay ?, reagents):**

These bacteria can cause many types of illnesses, including: pneumonia, ear infections, sinus infections, meningitis, and bacteremia. Pneumococcus bacteria are spread through coughing, sneezing, and close contact with an infected person. Symptoms of pneumococcal disease depend on the part of the body that is infected. They can include fever, cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, stiff neck, confusion and disorientation, sensitivity to light, joint pain, chills, ear pain, sleeplessness, and irritability. Pneumococcal disease occurs around the world. Outbreaks of pneumococcal disease are uncommon in countries that have introduced the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, but may occur in certain situations, such as in nursing homes, childcare centers, or other institutions. Certain people are more likely to become ill with pneumococcal disease. This high-risk group includes adults 65 years of age or older and children younger than 2 years of age. People who have conditions that weaken the immune system, like diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, and HIV/AIDS, or people who smoke cigarettes or have asthma are also at increased risk for getting pneumococcal disease. **Link to TDR Targets page:** N/A **Link to Gene Database page (NCBI, EuPath databases -e.g. TryTryp, PlasmoDB, etc - or PATRIC, etc.):**
