mycolipenoyl-CoA:2-(long-chain-fatty acyl)-trehalose 3-mycolipenoyltransferase
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.
