2.3.1.122 |
Accepted name: |
trehalose O-mycolyltransferase |
Reaction: |
2 α,α-trehalose 6-mycolate = α,α-trehalose + α,α-trehalose 6,6′-bismycolate |
Other name(s): |
α,α’-trehalose 6-monomycolate:α,α’-trehalose mycolyltransferase; α,α’-trehalose-6-mycolate:α,α’-trehalose-6-mycolate 6′-mycolyltransferase |
Systematic name: |
α,α-trehalose-6-mycolate:α,α-trehalose-6-mycolate 6′-mycolyltransferase |
Comments: |
Catalyses the exchange of mycolic acid between trehalose, trehalose mycolate and trehalose bismycolate. Trehalose 6-palmitate can also act as donor. |
