KEGG ENZYME: 2.3.1.314

ENZYME: 2.3.1.314

Entry

EC 2.3.1.314                Enzyme

Name

phytol O-acyltransferase;
phytyl ester synthase;
PES1 (gene name);
PES2 (gene name);
slr2103 (locus name)

Class

Transferases;
Acyltransferases;
Transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups

Sysname

acyl-CoA:phytol O-acyltransferase

Reaction(IUBMB)

an acyl-CoA + phytol = a fatty acid phytyl ester + CoA [RN:R13298]

Reaction(KEGG)

R13298

Substrate

acyl-CoA [CPD:C00040];
phytol [CPD:C01389]

Product

fatty acid phytyl ester [CPD:C22900];
CoA [CPD:C00010]

Comment

The enzyme is found in plant chloroplasts and cyanobacteria. The plant enzyme can also employ acyl carrier proteins and galactolipids as acyl donors, while the enzyme from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 only uses acyl-CoAs. The enzyme also catalyses the activity of EC 2.3.1.20, diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase.
