| Primary Identifier | IPR030840 | Type | Family |
| Short Name | CL_synthase_A |
| description | Most bacteria use an enzyme belonging to the phospholipase D family as cardiolipin synthase. In contrast, eukaryotes and most actinobacteria use a cardiolipin synthase of the CDP-alcohol phosphatidyltransferase family [].This entry represents the ClsA sub-subfamily of cardiolipin synthases that belong to the phospholipase D family. These proteins catalyse the reversible phosphatidyl group transfer from one phosphatidylglycerol molecule to another to form cardiolipin (diphosphatidylglycerol) and glycerol []. Bacillus subtilis has three genes (clsA, ywjE and ywiE) for CL synthase; the main role in CL synthesis being played by clsA []. |
