EC 2.3.1.278     
Accepted name: mycolipenoyl-CoA—2-(long-chain-fatty acyl)-trehalose mycolipenoyltransferase
Reaction: a mycolipenoyl-CoA + a 2-(long-chain-fatty acyl)-trehalose = a 2-(long-chain-fatty acyl)-3-mycolipenoyl-trehalose + CoA
Glossary: a mycolipenoyl-CoA = a (2E,2S,4S,6S)-2,4,6-trimethyl-2-enoyl-CoA
polyacyltrehalose = PAT = a 2-(long-chain-fatty acyl)-2′,3,4′,6-tetramycolipenoyl-trehalose
Other name(s): papA3 (gene name)
Systematic name: mycolipenoyl-CoA:2-(long-chain-fatty acyl)-trehalose 3-mycolipenoyltransferase
Comments: 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 catalyses two successive activities - it first transfers an acyl (often palmitoyl) group to position 2 (see EC 2.3.1.279, long-chain-acyl-CoA—trehalose acyltransferase), followed by the transfer of a mycolipenyl group to position 3.
