Protein
Phthiotriol/phenolphthiotriol dimycocerosates methyltransferase
Organism
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain ATCC 25618 / H37Rv)
Function
Catalyzes the methylation of the lipid moiety of the intermediate compounds phthiotriol and glycosylated phenolphthiotriol dimycoserosates to form phthiocerol dimycocerosates (DIM A) and glycosylated phenolphthiocerol dimycocerosates (PGL).
Similarity
Belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily. Phthiotriol/phenolphthiotriol dimycocerosates methyltransferase family.
