In enzymology, a maltose O-acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.79) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- acetyl-CoA + maltose [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] CoA + 6-O-acetyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->4)-D-glucose
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are acetyl-CoA and maltose, whereas its two products are CoA and 6-O-acetyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->4)-D-glucose.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acetyl-CoA:maltose O-acetyltransferase. Other names in common use include maltose transacetylase, maltose O-acetyltransferase, and MAT.
Structural studies
As of late 2007, 3 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1OCX, 2IC7, and 2P2O.
