Accepted Name

teichoic acid ribitol-phosphate polymerase

Alternative Name(s)

Tar polymerase

Reaction catalysed

4-O-[1-D-ribitylphospho-(2R)-1-glycerylphospho]-N-acetyl-beta-D-mannosaminyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl di-trans,octa-cis-undecaprenyl diphosphate + n CDP-L-ribitol = 4-O-[(D-ribitylphospho)(n)-D-ribitylphospho-(2R)-glycerylphospho]-N-acetyl-beta-D-mannosaminyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl di-trans,octa-cis-undecaprenyl diphosphate + n CMP + n H(+)

Comment(s)

Involved in the biosynthesis of teichoic acid linkage units in the cell wall of Bacillus subtilis W23.
This enzyme adds the 25-35 ribitol units to the linker molecule.
