EC 2.7.8.39     
Accepted name: archaetidylinositol phosphate synthase
Reaction: CDP-2,3-bis-(O-phytanyl)-sn-glycerol + 1L-myo-inositol 1-phosphate = CMP + 1-archaetidyl-1D-myo-inositol 3-phosphate
Glossary: 1L-myo-inositol 1-phosphate = 1D-myo-inositol 3-phosphate
CDP-2,3-bis-(O-phytanyl)-sn-glycerol = CDP-2,3-di-(O-phytanyl)-sn-glycerol = CDP-archaeol
1-archaetidyl-1D-myo-inositol 3-phosphate = archaetidyl-myo-inositol 1-phosphate
Other name(s): AIP synthase
Systematic name: CDP-2,3-bis-(O-phytanyl)-sn-glycerol:1L-myo-inositol 1-phosphate 1-sn-archaetidyltransferase
Comments: Requires Mg2+ or Mn2+ for activity. The enzyme is involved in biosynthesis of archaetidyl-myo-inositol, a compound essential for glycolipid biosynthesis in archaea.
