EC 2.7.8.45 Details
EC number
2.7.8.45
Accepted name
teichoic acid glycerol-phosphate transferase
Reaction
CDP-glycerol + 4-O-[(2R)-1-glycerophospho]-N-acetyl-β-D-mannosaminyl-(1→4)-N-acetyl-α-D-glucosaminyl-diphospho-ditrans,octacis-undecaprenol = CDP + 4-O-di[(2R)-1-glycerophospho]-N-acetyl-β-D-mannosaminyl-(1→4)-N-acetyl-α-D-glucosaminyl-diphospho-ditrans,octacis-undecaprenol
Other name(s)
tarF (gene name) (ambiguous), teichoic acid glycerol-phosphate primase
Systematic name
CDP-glycerol:4-O-[(2R)-1-glycerophospho]-N-acetyl-β-D-mannosaminyl-(1→4)-N-acetyl-α-D-glucosaminyl-diphospho-ditrans,octacis-undecaprenol glycerophosphotransferase
Comment
Involved in the biosynthesis of teichoic acid linkage units in the cell walls of some bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. This enzyme adds a second glycerol unit to the disaccharide linker of the teichoic acid. cf. EC 2.7.8.12, teichoic acid poly(glycerol phosphate) polymerase.
