Beta-galactoside transacetylase

GAT in complex with CoA and two molecules/active site of IPTG viewed perpendicular to the molecular threefold axis of the enzyme

β-galactoside transacetylase is an enzyme that transfers an acetyl group from acetyl-CoA to β-galactosides, and is coded by a gene (lacA) in the lac operon of E. coli.^[1] Its precise function as part of the lac operon is not understood currently.^[2]

The kinetics of the enzyme were delineated in 1995.^[3]

The enzyme's cellular role may be to detoxify non-metabolizable pyranosides by acetylating them and preventing their reentry into the cell.^[4]
