2.3.1.314

Accepted name:

phytol O-acyltransferase

Reaction:

an acyl-CoA + phytol = a fatty acid phytyl ester + CoA

Other name(s):

phytyl ester synthase; PES1 (gene name); PES2 (gene name); slr2103 (locus name)

Systematic name:

acyl-CoA:phytol O-acyltransferase

Comments:

The enzyme is found in plant chloroplasts and cyanobacteria. The plant enzyme can also employ acyl carrier proteins and galactolipids as acyl donors, while the enzyme from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 only uses acyl-CoAs. The enzyme also catalyses the activity of EC 2.3.1.20, diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase.
