Reaction: D-glycero-α-D-manno-heptose 1-phosphate + GTP = GDP-D-glycero-α-D-manno-heptose + diphosphate
Other name(s): hddC (gene name); gmhD (gene name)
Systematic name: GTP:D-glycero-α-D-manno-heptose 1-phosphate guanylyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme is involved in biosynthesis of GDP-D-glycero-α-D-manno-heptose, which is required for assembly of S-layer glycoprotein in some Gram-positive bacteria.
