Galactoside acetyltransferase (also known as Galactoside O-acetyltransferase, thiogalactoside transacetylase, β-galactoside transacetylase and GAT) is an enzyme that transfers an acetyl group from acetyl-CoA to β-galactosides, glucosides and lactosides. It is coded for by the lacA gene of the lac operon in E. coli.[1]
Reaction
[edit | edit source]It catalyzes the following reaction:
acetyl-CoA + beta-D-galactoside → CoA + 6-acetyl-beta-D-galactoside
The kinetics of the enzyme were delineated in 1995.[2]
Biological role
[edit | edit source]The enzyme's role in the classical E. coli lac operon remains unclear.[1][3] However, the enzyme's cellular role may be to detoxify non-metabolizable pyranosides by acetylating them and preventing their reentry into the cell.[1][4]
