STRUCTURE OF E. COLI KAS I H298Q MUTANT IN COMPLEX WITH C12 FATTY ACID

Overview

Beta-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) synthase enzymes join short, carbon units to construct fatty acyl chains by a three-step Claisen, condensation reaction. The reaction starts with a trans thioesterification, of the acyl primer substrate from ACP to the enzyme. Subsequently, the, donor substrate malonyl-ACP is decarboxylated to form a carbanion, intermediate, which in the third step attacks C1 of the primer substrate, giving rise to an elongated acyl chain. A subgroup of beta-ketoacyl-ACP, synthases, including mitochondrial beta-ketoacyl-ACP synthase, bacterial, plus plastid beta-ketoacyl-ACP synthases I and II, and a domain of human, fatty acid synthase, have a Cys-His-His triad and also a completely, conserved Lys in the active site. To examine the role of these residues in, ... [(full description)]
