2.3.1.277

Accepted name:

2-oxo-3-(phosphooxy)propyl 3-oxoalkanoate synthase

Reaction:

a medium-chain 3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier protein] + glycerone phosphate = 2-oxo-3-(phosphooxy)propyl 3-oxoalkanoate + a holo-[acyl-carrier protein]

Glossary:

glycerone phosphate = dihydroxyacetone phosphate = 3-hydroxy-2-oxopropyl phosphate

Other name(s):

afsA (gene name); scbA (gene name); barX (gene name)

Systematic name:

3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier protein]:glycerone phosphate 3-oxonacylltransferase

Comments:

The enzyme catalyses the first committed step in the biosynthesis of γ-butyrolactone autoregulators that control secondary metabolism and morphological development in Streptomyces bacteria.
