Galactoside O-acetyltransferase (also known as thiogalactoside transacetylase) is an enzyme encoded by the lacA gene in E. coli. The protein plays a role in cell detoxification.[1]
Reaction
It catalyzes the following reaction:
acetyl-CoA + beta-D-galactoside → CoA + 6-acetyl-beta-D-galactoside
Structure
In E. coli, thiogalactoside transacetylase is a dimer. Its monomer consists of 202 amino acid residues. The protein has a molecular weight of 22,671.[2]
The amino terminus of the protein is heterogenous because the initiator methionine is only partially cleaved. The protein is found in the cell cytoplasm and contains a highly hydrophobic segment in its center.
