| Accepted name: |
long-chain acyl-[acp]:L-phenylalanine N-acyltransferase |
| Reaction: |
11-methyldodecanoyl-[acp] + L-phenylalanine = [acp] + N-(11-methyldodecanoyl)-L-phenylalanine |
| Other name(s): |
N-acyl amino acid synthase A; nasA (gene name) |
| Systematic name: |
long-chain acyl-[acp]:L-phenylalanine N-acyltransferase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme, characterized from an environmental DNA sample and expressed in Paraburkholderia graminis, catalyses the transfer of linear and branched long-chain acyl-[acp] molecules to L-phenylalanine, forming N-acyl-L-phenylalanine molecules. |
