ENZYME entry: EC 2.7.8.45

Accepted Name
teichoic acid glycerol-phosphate transferase
Alternative Name(s)
teichoic acid glycerol-phosphate primase
Reaction catalysed
4-O-[(2R)-glycerylphospho]-N-acetyl-beta-D-mannosaminyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl di-trans,octa-cis-undecaprenyl diphosphate + CDP-glycerol <=> 4-O-[di(2R)-glycerylphospho]-N-acetyl-beta-D-mannosaminyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl di-trans,octa-cis-undecaprenyl diphosphate + CMP + H(+)
Comment(s)
  • Involved in the biosynthesis of teichoic acid linkage units in the cell walls of some bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus.
  • This enzyme adds a second glycerol unit to the disaccharide linker of the teichoic acid. cf. EC 2.7.8.12.
