Functions
cyclopropane-fatty-acyl-phospholipid synthase activity
Processes
active evasion of host immune response / modulation by symbiont of host innate immune response / mycolic acid biosynthetic process / pathogenesis / S-adenosylmethionine metabolic process
Components
cytoplasm
General Function
Involved in the phagosome maturation block (PMB). Catalyzes the conversion of a double bond to a cyclopropane ring at the proximal position of an alpha mycolic acid via the transfer of a methylene group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine. It can use cis, cis 11,14-eicosadienoic acid and linoelaidic acid as substrate. Cyclopropanated mycolic acids are key factors participating in cell envelope permeability, host immunomodulation and persistence.
