Target type: molecularfunction
Catalysis of the reaction: propionyl-CoA + lysine in peptide = CoA + N-propionyl-lysine-peptide. [PMID:17267393]
Propionyltransferase activity is a crucial molecular function that involves the transfer of a propionyl group from a donor molecule, such as propionyl-CoA, to an acceptor molecule. This enzymatic reaction plays a significant role in various metabolic pathways, particularly in the catabolism of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and the biosynthesis of certain metabolites.
The propionyl group, a three-carbon unit, is attached to the acceptor molecule through a covalent bond, typically to a nitrogen or oxygen atom. This transfer reaction is facilitated by enzymes known as propionyltransferases, which possess a specific active site that binds both the donor and acceptor molecules.
The molecular function of propionyltransferase activity can be further categorized into different types based on the specific acceptor molecule:
- **Amino acid propionyltransferases:** These enzymes transfer a propionyl group to amino acids, such as lysine, to form N-propionyl-lysine. This modification can impact the structure and function of proteins.
- **Fatty acid propionyltransferases:** These enzymes add a propionyl group to fatty acids, resulting in the formation of propionyl-fatty acids. This process is involved in the biosynthesis of certain types of lipids.
- **Coenzyme A propionyltransferases:** These enzymes transfer a propionyl group to coenzyme A (CoA), producing propionyl-CoA. Propionyl-CoA is a crucial intermediate in the catabolism of BCAAs and the metabolism of odd-chain fatty acids.
The activity of propionyltransferases is tightly regulated to ensure proper metabolic flux. This regulation can occur through various mechanisms, including allosteric control, substrate availability, and post-translational modifications.
In summary, propionyltransferase activity is a fundamental molecular function that plays a critical role in various metabolic processes. The transfer of a propionyl group from a donor to an acceptor molecule can modify the structure and function of proteins, lipids, and other metabolites, contributing to the overall cellular metabolism.'
