ENZYME entry: EC 2.3.1.278

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/2.3.1.278
Accepted Name
mycolipenoyl-CoA--2-(long-chain-fatty acyl)-trehalose mycolipenoyltransferase
Reaction catalysed
a mycolipenoyl-CoA + a 2-O-(long-chain fatty acyl)-alpha,alpha-trehalose = a 2-O-(long-chain fatty acyl)-3-O-mycolipenoyl-trehalose + CoA
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, participates in the biosynthesis of polyacyltrehalose (PAT), a pentaacylated, trehalose-based glycolipid found in the cell wall of pathogenic strains.
  • The enzyme catalyzes two successive activities - it first transfers an acyl (often palmitoyl) group to position 2 (see EC 2.3.1.279), followed by the transfer of a mycolipenyl group to position 3.
