Involved in the biosynthesis of tunicamycins. Catalyses the radical coupling reaction in which a 5′-uridyl radical undergoes radical addition at C6 of N-acetyl-galactoseamine-5,6-ene to yield an α-alkoxyalkyl radical. Subsequent hydrogen atom abstraction from 5′-deoxyadenosine could lead to UDP-N-acetyl-tunicamine-uracil and the regeneration of SAM.

▸ Abstract

Whilst this family seems to belong to the SPASM/twitch domain containing subgroup via the similarity network and at the subgroup E-value threshold for the complete superfamily, it does not have a secondary iron-sulfur binding site.
