Protein
Mycolic acid methyltransferase MmaA1
Organism
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain ATCC 25177 / H37Ra)
Function
Involved in the conversion of a cis-olefin into a trans-olefin with concomitant introduction of an allylic methyl branch at the proximal position of the precursor to both the methoxy and ketomycolic acids. It directly affects the cis- to trans ratio and indirectly affects the keto to methoxy ratio (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the CFA/CMAS family.
