enzyme mediates the transesterification of diacylglycerol using long-chain acyl-CoA as acyl donors. In addition, it functions as mycolyltransferase, a docking model suggests that palmitoleoyl-coenzyme A and 1,2-dipalmitin occupy the same active site as trehalose 6,6-dimycolate and trehalose 6-monomycolate

a Rv3371 deletion mutant of Mtb shows impaired non-replicating persistence in vitro and altered sensitivity to anti-mycobacterial drugs. In low iron medium, the Rv3371 deletion mutant shows reduced formation of TAG containing extracellular vesicles
upon overexpression in Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155, cell morphology is changed and the cells become grossly enlarged. A massive formation of lipid bodies and a change in lipid pattern is observed simultaneously
the diacylglycerol acyltransferase Rv3371 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is required for growth arrest and involved in stress-induced cell wall alterations during persistence. It is involved in the biosynthesis of triacylglycerol (TAG). TAG is important to mycobacteria both as cell envelope component and energy reservoir
gene Rv3371, specific to pathogenic mycobacteria, leads to modifications in colony morphotype, bacterial architecture, cell surface properties, and to elevated triacylglycerol (TAG) levels when expressed in Mycolicibacterium smegmatis (Mycobacterium smegmatis)

the Rv3371 promoter is minimally active during exponential growth in vitro, but is upregulated under stationary phase, hypoxia, nutrient starvation, nitrosative stress, low iron, in IFN-gamma activated macrophages and infected mice. The low iron-induced expression of Rv3371 is likely due to the de-repression by Rv1404, which is probably activated by ideR
