Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (or GALT) is an enzyme (EC 2.7.7.12) responsible for converting ingested galactose to glucose.[1]
Galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT) catalyzes the second step of the Leloir pathway of galactose metabolism, namely:
The expression of GALT is controlled by the actions of the FOXO3 gene. The absence of this enzyme results in classic galactosemia in humans and can be fatal in the newborn period if lactose is not removed from the diet. The pathophysiology of galactosemia has not been clearly defined.[1]
Contents
Mechanism
GALT catalyzes the second reaction of the Leloir pathway of galactose metabolism through ping pong bi-bi kinetics with a double displacement mechanism.[2] This means that the net reaction consists of two reactants and two products (see reaction above), and it proceeds by the following mechanism: the enzyme reacts with one substrate to generate one product and a modified enzyme, which goes on to react with the second substrate to make the second product while regenerating the original enzyme.[3] In the case of GALT, the His166 residue acts as a potent nucleophile to facilitate transfer of a nucleotide between UDP-hexoses and hexose-1-phosphates.[4]
- UDP-glucose + E-His ⇌ Glucose-1-phosphate + E-His-UMP
- Galactose-1-phosphate + E-His-UMP ⇌ UDP-galactose + E-His[4]
Structural studies
The three-dimensional structure at 180 pm resolution (x-ray crystallography) of GALT was discovered by Wedekind, Frey, and Rayment, and their structural analysis has found key amino acids essential for GALT function.[4]
The important amino acids that Wedekind et al. found in their structural analysis of GALT, such as Leu4, Phe75, Asn77, Asp78, Phe79, and Val108, are consistent with residues that have been implicated both in point mutation experiments as well as in clinical screening to play a role in human galactosemia.[4][6]
Clinical significance
Deficiency of GALT causes classic galactosemia. Galactosemia is a childhood disease of hereditary nature.[7] The autosomal recessive trait affects approximately 1 in every 40,000-60,000 live-born infants. Classical galactosemia (G/G) is caused by a deficiency in GALT activity, whereas the more common clinical affliction, Duarte/Classica (D/G) arises from attenuation of GALT activity.[8] Symptoms include ovarian failure, developmental coordination disorder (difficulty speaking correctly and consistently),[9] and neurologic deficits.[8] A single mutation in any of several amino acids can lead to attenuation or deficiency in GALT activity.[10] For example, a single mutation from A to G in exon 6 of the GALT gene changes Glu188 to an arginine, and a mutation from A to G in exon 10 converts Asn314 to an aspartic acid.[8] These two mutations also add new restriction enzyme cut sites, which enable detection by and large-scale population screening with PCR (polymerase chain reaction).[8] Screening has mostly eliminated neonatal death by G/G galactosemia, but the disease, due to GALT’s role in the biochemical metabolism of ingested galactose (which is toxic when accumulated) to the energetically useful glucose, can certainly be fatal.[7][11] However, those afflicted with galactosemia can live relatively normal lives by avoiding milk products and anything else containing galactose (since it cannot be metabolized), although there is the potential for problems in neurological development, or other complications, even in those who avoid galactose.[12]

InterPro entry IPR005850
Galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase catalyses the conversion of UDP-glucose and alpha-D-galactose 1-phosphate to alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate and UDP-galactose during galactose metabolism. The enzyme is present in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Defects in GalT in humans is the cause of galactosemia, an inherited disorder of galactose metabolism that leads to jaundice, cataracts and mental retardation.
This domain describes the C-terminal of Galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase. SCOP reports fold duplication of the C-terminal with the N-terminal domain. Both are involved in Zn and Fe binding

Structures
For those sequences which have a structure in the Protein DataBank, we use the mapping between UniProt, PDB and Pfam coordinate systems from the PDBe group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt sequences and three-dimensional protein structures. The table below shows the structures on which the GalP_UDP_tr_C domain has been found. There are 12 instances of this domain found in the PDB. Note that there may be multiple copies of the domain in a single PDB structure, since many structures contain multiple copies of the same protein seqence.
