Protein
Glycosyl-4,4'-diaponeurosporenoate acyltransferase
Organism
Staphylococcus haemolyticus (strain JCSC1435)
Function
Catalyzes the acylation of glycosyl-4,4'-diaponeurosporenoate, i.e. the esterification of glucose at the C6'' position with the carboxyl group of the C(15) fatty acid 12-methyltetradecanoic acid, to yield staphyloxanthin. This is the last step in the biosynthesis of this orange pigment, present in most staphylococci strains (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the acyltransferase CrtO family.
