In this article we describe for the first time a function for a bacterial GH3-homologue in lipid synthesis. GH3 proteins are well-studied in plants where they catalyze the condensation of jasmonic acid or auxins with amino acids controlling hormone activity. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A biosynthetic pathway for ornithine lipid formation dependent on a GH3 (Gretchen Hagen 3)-like enzyme in planctomycetes Amino lipids with acyloxyacyl structures, particularly ornithine lipids (OLs), are widespread in bacteria, but are absent from archaea and eukaryotes.… https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S002192582502486X?via%3Dihub&fbclid=IwdGRjcANBNFRjbGNrA0E0TGV4dG4DYWVtAjExAAEe7GCgxaKHcfPkMLDhoNbG9Cb0Ds6WwSgHddCbUptfVUmWoBaLR2eA8Y8OK-s_aem_zmJg0dastZLaC-Fb0He1Dw
