ENZYME entry: EC 2.1.1.16

Accepted Name
methylene-fatty-acyl-phospholipid synthase
Alternative Name(s)
cyclopropane synthetase
unsaturated-phospholipid methyltransferase
Reaction catalysed
1-acyl-2-(9Z)-enoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospholipid + S-adenosyl-L-methionine <=> 1-acyl-2-(10-methylene)-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phospholipid + H(+) + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine
Comment(s)
The enzyme transfers a methyl group to the 10-position of a Delta(9)- olefinic acyl chain in phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, or, more slowly, phosphatidylethanolamine; subsequent proton transfer produces a 10-methylene group (cf. EC 2.1.1.79).
