EC 2.3.1.288

Accepted name: 2-O-sulfo trehalose long-chain-acyltransferase

Reaction: (1) stearoyl-CoA + 2-O-sulfo-α,α-trehalose = 2-O-sulfo-2'-stearoyl-α,α-trehalose + CoA
(2) palmitoyl-CoA + 2-O-sulfo-α,α-trehalose = 2-O-sulfo-2'-palmitoyl-α,α-trehalose + CoA

Other name(s): papA2 (gene name)

Systematic name: acyl-CoA:2-O-sulfo-α,α-trehalose 2'-long-chain-acyltransferase

Comments: This mycobacterial enzyme catalyses the acylation of 2-O-sulfo-α,α-trehalose at the 2' position by a C16 or C18 fatty acyl group during the biosynthesis of mycobacterial sulfolipids.
