Perosamine is a 4-aminodeoxysugar that is found in the "O"-antigen of "Vibrio cholarae" "O"1 and "E. coli" "O"157:H7. Its biosynthesis from mannose follows a pathway similar to that of colitose, but is different in that it is aminated and does not undergo a C-5 epimerization. [Albermann C, Piepersberg W. "Expression and identification of the RfBE protein from "Vibrio cholerae" O1 and its use for the enzymatic synthesis of GDP-D-perosamine." Glycobiology (2001) 11:655-661.]

The final enzyme in the pathway, GDP-D-perosamine synthase, is a PLP-dependent enzyme that transfers an amino group from glutamate to the C-4 position of the sugar.
