Protein
Archaetidylinositol phosphate synthase
Organism
Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus (strain ATCC 29096 / DSM 1053 / JCM 10044 / NBRC 100330 / Delta H)
Function
Involved in biosynthesis of archaetidyl-myo-inositol, a compound essential for glycolipid biosynthesis in archaea. Catalyzes the formation of archaetidylinositol phosphate (AIP) from CDP-archaeol (CDP-ArOH) and 1L-myo-inositol 1-phosphate (IP).
Similarity
Belongs to the CDP-alcohol phosphatidyltransferase class-I family.
