Phosphatidylcholine synthase
Definition:
EC Tree > 2 Transferases > 2.7 Transferring phosphorus-containing groups > 2.7.8 Transferases for other substituted phosphate groups > 2.7.8.24 phosphatidylcholine synthase
Phosphatidylcholine synthase is the bacterial phosphatidylcholine-biosynthesis enzyme. It requires divalent cations (Mn2+ more effective than Mg2+) and transfers the phosphocholine from CDP-diacylglycerol onto choline, releasing CMP and phosphatidylcholine, a common membrane lipid in symbiotic/pathogenic bacteria. It occurs in viruses and cellular organisms.
