CMP-N,N'-diacetyllegionaminic acid synthase (EC 2.7.7.82, CMP-N,N'-diacetyllegionaminic acid synthetase, neuA (gene), legF (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name CTP:N,N'-diacetyllegionaminate cytidylyltransferase.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

CTP + N,N'-diacetyllegionaminate CMP-N,N'-diacetyllegionaminate + diphosphate

This enzyme is isolated from the bacteria Legionella pneumophila and Campylobacter jejuni.
