It is clear from the structures of bacterial members of MaoC dehydratase, Pfam:PF01575, that the full-length functional dehydratase enzyme is made up of two structures that dimerise to form a whole. Divergence of the N- and C- monomers in higher eukaryotes has led to two distinct domains, this one and MaoC_dehydratas. However, in order to function as an enzyme both are required together.
This is the acyl carrier domain (ACP) found in fatty acid synthase subunit alpha (FAS2) EC:2.3.1.86 .The fungal type I fatty acid synthase (FAS) is a 2.6 MDa multienzyme complex, catalyzing all necessary steps for the synthesis of long acyl chains. T ...
This is the acyl carrier domain (ACP) found in fatty acid synthase subunit alpha (FAS2) EC:2.3.1.86 .The fungal type I fatty acid synthase (FAS) is a 2.6 MDa multienzyme complex, catalyzing all necessary steps for the synthesis of long acyl chains. To be catalytically competent, the FAS must be activated by a posttranslational modification of the central acyl carrier domain (ACP) by an intrinsic phosphopantetheine transferase (PPT) [1].
