Reaction: GTP + valienol 1-phosphate = diphosphate + GDP-valienol
Glossary: valienol 1-phosphate = (1S,4R,5S,6R)-4,5,6-trihydroxy-3-(hydroxymethyl)cyclohex-2-en-1-yl phosphate
Other name(s): vldB (gene name)
Systematic name: GTP:valienol 1-phosphate guanylyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Streptomyces hygroscopicus subsp. limoneus, is involved in the biosynthesis of the antifungal agent validamycin A.
