Phosphinothricin acetyltransferase
Phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.183, PAT, PPT acetyltransferase, Pt-N-acetyltransferase, ac-Pt) is an enzyme with system name acetyl-CoA:phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- acetyl-CoA + phosphinothricin CoA + N-acetylphosphinothricin
The substrate phosphinothricin is used as a nonselective herbicide and is a potent inhibitor of EC 6.3.1.2.
