Accepted name: |
L-ornithine Nα-acyltransferase |
Reaction: |
L-ornithine + a (3R)-3-hydroxyacyl-[acyl-carrier protein] = a lyso-ornithine lipid + a holo-[acyl-carrier protein] |
Glossary: |
a lyso-ornithine lipid = an Nα-[(3R)-hydroxy-acyl]-L-ornithine |
Other name(s): |
olsB (gene name) |
Systematic name: |
L-ornithine Nα-(3R)-3-hydroxy-acyltransferase |
Comments: |
The enzyme, found in bacteria, catalyses the first step in the biosynthesis of ornithine lipids. |
