| UniProt functional annotation for P9WPB7 | |||
| UniProt code: P9WPB7. |
| Organism: | Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain ATCC 25618 / H37Rv). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Corynebacteriales; Mycobacteriaceae; Mycobacterium; Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes the conversion of a double bond to a cyclopropane ring at the distal position of an alpha mycolic acid via the transfer of a methylene group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine. Cyclopropanated mycolic acids are key factors participating in cell envelope permeability, host immunomodulation and persistence. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7592990}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=1-acyl-2-(9Z)-enoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospholipid + S-adenosyl-L- methionine = 1-acyl-2-(9-cyclopronane)-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phospholipid + H(+) + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:11988, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:57856, ChEBI:CHEBI:59789, ChEBI:CHEBI:76593, ChEBI:CHEBI:76594; EC=2.1.1.79; | |
| Pathway: | Lipid metabolism; mycolic acid biosynthesis. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11756461}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the CFA/CMAS family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
