Long-chain-fatty-acid-luciferin-component ligase

Long-chain-fatty-acid-luciferin-component ligase

In enzymology, a long-chain-fatty-acid-luciferin-component ligase (EC number|6.2.1.19) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:ATP + an acid + protein ightleftharpoons AMP + diphosphate + an acyl-protein thioester

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, acid, and protein, whereas its 3 products are AMP, diphosphate, and acyl-protein thioester.

This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases, specifically those forming carbon-sulfur bonds as acid-thiol ligases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is long-chain-fatty-acid:protein ligase (AMP-forming). This enzyme is also called acyl-protein synthetase.
