ENZYME entry: EC 2.4.1.184
Accepted Name |
Galactolipid galactosyltransferase.
|
Alternative Name(s) |
DGDG synthase. |
Digalactosyldiacylglycerol synthase. |
Galactolipid-galactolipid galactosyltransferase. |
GGGT. |
Interlipid galactosyltransferase. |
Reaction catalysed |
2 a 1,2-diacyl-3-O-(beta-D-galactosyl)-sn-glycerol <=> a 1,2-diacyl-3-O-(beta-D-galactosyl-(1->6)-beta-D-galactosyl)-sn-glycerol + a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol |
Comment(s) |
- The enzyme converts monogalactosyldiacylglycerol to
digalactosyldiacylglycerol, trigalactosyldiacylglycerol and
tetragalactosyldiacylglycerol.
- All residues are connected by beta linkages.
- The activity is localized to chloroplast envelope membranes, but it
does not contribute to net galactolipid synthesis in plants, which is
performed by EC 2.4.1.46 and EC 2.4.1.241.
- Note that the beta,beta-digalactosyldiacylglycerol formed by this
enzyme is different from the more common alpha,beta-
digalactosyldiacylglycerol formed by EC 2.4.1.241.
- The enzyme provides an important mechanism for the stabilization of
the chloroplast membranes during freezing and drought stress.
