ID   2.3.1.279
DE   long-chain-acyl-CoA--trehalose acyltransferase.
CA   a long-chain fatty acyl-CoA + alpha,alpha-trehalose = 2-O-(long-chain
CA   fatty acyl)-alpha,alpha-trehalose + CoA.
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Mycobacterium
CC       tuberculosis, participates in the biosynthesis of polyacyltrehalose
CC       (PAT), a pentaacylated, trehalose-based glycolipid found in the cell
CC       wall of pathogenic strains.
CC   -!- The enzyme catalyzes two successive activities - it first transfers
CC       an acyl (often palmitoyl) group to position 2, followed by the
CC       transfer of a mycolipenyl group to position 3 (see EC 2.3.1.278).
