Summary

GPAT2 (glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 2, mitochondrial, HGNC:27168) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2q11.2, encoding Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 2, mitochondrial (Q6NUI2). Transfers an acyl-group from acyl-ACP to the sn-1 position of glycerol-3-phosphate producing a lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), an essential step for the triacylglycerol (TAG) and glycerophospholipids. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 32.1% of cell lines).

Enables glycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in glycerol-3-phosphate metabolic process; glycerolipid biosynthetic process; and piRNA processing. Located in mitochondrion.

Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 2, mitochondrialQ6NUI2 (reviewed: Q6NUI2)

Alternative names: 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase GPAT2, xGPAT1

All UniProt accessions (3): C9JYV5, Q6NUI2, E9PE95

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Transfers an acyl-group from acyl-ACP to the sn-1 position of glycerol-3-phosphate producing a lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), an essential step for the triacylglycerol (TAG) and glycerophospholipids. In vitro also transfers an acyl-group from acyl-ACP to the LPA producing a phosphatidic acid (PA). Prefers arachidonoyl-CoA as the acyl donor. Required for primary processing step during piRNA biosynthesis. Molecular mechanisms by which it promotes piRNA biosynthesis are unclear and do not involve its acyltransferase activity.

Subunit / interactions. Interacts with PIWIL2.

Subcellular location. Mitochondrion outer membrane.

Activity regulation. Inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide (NEM).

Domain organisation. The HXXXXD motif is essential for acyltransferase activity and may constitute the binding site for the phosphate moiety of the glycerol-3-phosphate.

Pathway. Phospholipid metabolism; CDP-diacylglycerol biosynthesis; CDP-diacylglycerol from sn-glycerol 3-phosphate: step 1/3.

Similarity. Belongs to the GPAT/DAPAT family.
