Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 1.85Å Ligands: D1T Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function FABH_MYCTU Catalyzes the condensation reaction of fatty acid synthesis by the addition to an acyl acceptor of two carbons from malonyl-ACP. Catalyzes the first condensation reaction which initiates fatty acid synthesis and may therefore play a role in governing the total rate of fatty acid production. Possesses both acetoacetyl-ACP synthase and acetyl transacylase activities. Has some substrate specificity for long chain acyl-CoA such as myristoyl-CoA. Does not use acyl-CoA as primer. Its substrate specificity determines the biosynthesis of mycolic acid fatty acid chain, which is characteristic of mycobacterial cell wall.

Publication Abstract from PubMed Mycobacterium tuberculosis FabH initiates type II fatty acid synthase-catalyzed formation of the long chain (C(16)-C(22)) acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) precursors of mycolic acids, which are major constituents of the bacterial cell envelope. Crystal structures of M. tuberculosis FabH (mtFabH) show the substrate binding site to be a buried, extended L-shaped channel with only a single solvent access portal. Entrance of an acyl-CoA substrate through the solvent portal would require energetically unfavorable reptational threading of the substrate to its reactive position. Using a class of FabH inhibitors, we have tested an alternative hypothesis that FabH exists in an "open" form during substrate binding and product release, and a "closed" form in which catalysis and intermediate steps occur. This hypothesis is supported by mass spectrometric analysis of the product profile and crystal structures of complexes of mtFabH with these inhibitors.
