DE   adenosine tuberculosinyltransferase.
CA   adenosine + H(+) + tuberculosinyl diphosphate =
CA   1-tuberculosinyladenosine + diphosphate.
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from the bacterial pathogen Mycobacterium
CC       tuberculosis, produces 1-tuberculosinyladenosine, an unusual terpene
CC       nucleoside that acts as a phagolysosome disruptor by neutralizing the
CC       pH, resulting in swelling of the lysosome and obliteration of its
CC       multilamellar structure.
CC   -!- Formerly EC 3.1.7.8.
