Protein
Putative diacyglycerol O-acyltransferase Rv2285
Organism
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain ATCC 25618 / H37Rv)
Function
Upon expression in E.coli functions weakly as a triacylglycerol synthase, making triacylglycerol (TG) from diolein and long-chain fatty acyl-CoA. Has very weak wax synthase activity, incorporating palmityl alcohol into wax esters in the presence of palmitoyl-CoA.
Similarity
Belongs to the long-chain O-acyltransferase family.
