Structural highlights
Function
FABH_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]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
The first cocrystal structure of a bacterial FabH condensing enzyme and a small molecule inhibitor is reported. The inhibitor was obtained by rational modification of a high throughput screening lead with the aid of a S. pneumoniae FabH homology model. This homology model was used to design analogues that would have both high affinity for the enzyme and appropriate aqueous solubility to facilitate cocrystallization studies.
