FAMILY

CDP-alcohol phosphatidyltransferase class-I family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as PIPS_MYCTU, pgsA1, pgsA. Catalyzes the conjugation of the 1'-hydroxyl group of D-myo-inositol-3-phosphate (also named L-myo-inositol-1-phosphate) with a lipid tail of cytidine diphosphate diacylglycerol (CDP-DAG), forming phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PIP) and CMP. PIP is a precursor of phosphatidylinositol (PI) which is an essential lipid for mycobacteria required for formation of their cell wall. Homodimer.
