E. coli beta-ketoacyl-[acyl carrier protein] synthase III (FabH) with an acetylated cysteine and in complex with oxa(dethia)-Coenzyme A

Structural highlights
FunctionFABH_ECOLI 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 acetyl-CoA. Its substrate specificity determines the biosynthesis of straight-chain of fatty acids instead of branched-chain.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01815] Contents | ||||||||||||||||||||
