Structural Characterisation of the Beta-Ketoacyl-Acyl Carrier Protein Synthases, FabF and FabH, of Yersinia pestis
Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of bubonic, pneumonic, and septicaemic plague, remains a major public health threat, with outbreaks of disease occurring in China, Madagascar, and Peru in the last five years. The existence of multidrug resistant Y. pestis and the potential of this bacterium as a bioterrorism agent illustrates the need for new antimicrobials. The β-ketoacyl-acyl carrier prot...
متن کاملP-Ketoacyl-Acyl Carrier Protein Synthetase
/3-Ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) synthetase catalyzes the condensation reaction of fatty acid synthesis in Escherichia coli. The homogeneous enzyme reacts with hexanoylCoA to form hexanoyl-enzyme which was isolated and characterized. Hexanoyl-enzyme contains 2 mol of hexanoate/mol of enzyme (molecular weight 66,000); it is labile at alkaline pH, and it reacts with neutral hydroxylamine to...
متن کاملAcyl Carrier Protein Cyanylation Delivers a Ketoacyl Synthase-Carrier Protein Cross-Link.
Acyl carrier proteins (ACPs) are central hubs in polyketide and fatty acid biosynthetic pathways, but the fast motions of the ACP's phosphopantetheine (Ppant) arm make its conformational dynamics difficult to capture using traditional spectroscopic approaches. Here we report that converting the terminal thiol of Escherichia coli ACP's Ppant arm into a thiocyanate activates this site to form a s...
متن کاملAcyl carrier protein is conjugated to glutathione in spinach seed.
Acyl carrier protein (ACP) contains an essential sulfhydryl group in its phosphopantetheine prosthetic group. We have investigated the state of this sulfhydryl in developing and mature spinach seed (Spinacia oleracea). Seed extracts were separated on sodium dodecyl sulfate or native polyacrylamide gels, blotted to nitrocellulose, and probed with antibodies raised against spinach ACP-I. In extra...
متن کاملDecarboxylation of malonyl-(acyl carrier protein) by 3-oxoacyl-(acyl carrier protein) synthases in plant fatty acid biosynthesis.
In order to identify regulatory steps in fatty acid biosynthesis, the influence of intermediate 3-oxoacyl-(acyl carrier proteins) (3-oxoacyl-ACPs) and end-product acyl-ACPs of the fatty acid synthase reaction on the condensation reaction was investigated in vitro, using total fatty acid synthase preparations and purified 3-oxoacyl-ACP synthases (KASs; EC 2.3.1.41) from Cuphea lanceolata seeds. ...
