What is Acetylation of 13-sophorosyloxydocosanoic acid by an acetyltransferase purified from Candida bogoriensis. about?

Acetyl-coenzyme A: 13-sophorosyloxydocosanoic acid (Glc2HDA) acetyltransferase was purified 14-fold in low yield from Candida bogoriensis cells. The enzyme catalyzes acetylation of the 6' and 6" positions of the sophorosyl group, producing the 13-[2'-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy]-docosanoic acid 6',6"-diacetate (Ac2Glc2HDA) and monoacetate (AcGlc2HDA) in a product ratio of 5:1. Neither the purification steps nor heat denaturation studies indicated separation of the first and second acetylation steps. The acetyltransferase has a molecular weight of about 500,000 as determined by gel filtration on a Sepharose 4-B column. It shows a pH optimum range from 7 to 9, is strongly inhibited by 1 mM concentrations of the sulfhydryl reagents N-ethylmaleimide, p-hydroxymercuribenzoate, and 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid), but only partly inhibited by 10 mM iodoacetamide. It has an apparent Km of 30 muM for acetyl-CoA, utilizes propionyl-CoA at 45% the rate of acetyl-CoA, and utilizes longer chain acyl-CoA derivatives much less efficiently. The critical micelle concentrations of the C. bogoriensis glycolipids in pH 7.7 phosphate buffer were estimated by pinacyanol chlorid
