physiological function | sulfolipid SL-1 biosynthesis is initiated by sulfotransferase by sulfating the abundant disaccharide trehalose to form T2S. The acyltransferase PapA2 then catalyzes the esterification of T2S at the 2'-position to generate a monoacylated intermediate. The polyketide synthase Pks2 synthesizes methyl-branched (hydroxy)phthioceranoyl chains. PapA1 transfers the product of Pks2 to the 3'-position of the monoacylated intermediate, yielding adiacylated species. Additional acylations at the 6- and 6'-positions produce fully elaborated SL-1 | Mycobacterium tuberculosis |
