Mapping of the fabA locus for unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis in Escherichia coli.
نویسندگان
چکیده
fabA mutants of Escherichia coli require an appropriate unsaturated fatty acid for growth. The fabA locus has now been mapped at minute 21.5 of the linkage map of E. coli. The locus is cotransduced with pyrD and aroA but not with pyrC, purB, or pdxC. The clockwise order of markers in the region is pdxC, aroA, cmlB, pyrD, fabA, pyrC.

Fatty Acid Biosynthesis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Cloning and Characterization of the fabAB Operon Encoding b-Hydroxyacyl- Acyl Carrier Protein Dehydratase (FabA) and b-Ketoacyl-Acyl Carrier Protein Synthase I (FabB)
The Pseudomonas aeruginosa fabA and fabB genes, encoding b-hydroxyacyl-acyl carrier protein dehydratase and b-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase I, respectively, were cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli. Northern analysis demonstrated that fabA and fabB are cotranscribed and most probably form a fabAB operon. The FabA and FabB proteins were similar in size and amino acid co...
متن کاملRole for fadR in unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis in Escherichia coli.
Escherichia coli K-12 mutants constitutive for the synthesis of the enzymes of fatty acid degradation (fad) synthesize significantly less unsaturated fatty acid (UFA) than do wild-type (fadR+) strains. The constitutive fadR mutants synthesize less UFA than do fadR+) strains both in vivo and in vitro. The inability of fadR strains to synthesize UFAs at rates comparable to those of fadR+ strains ...
متن کاملEffect of the osmotic pressure of the growth medium on fabB mutants of Escherichia coli.
Temperature-sensitive, unsaturated fatty acid (fabB) auxotrophs of Escherichia coli can grow at the restrictive temperature in the absence of unsaturated fatty acid in a medium with a high osmotic pressure. If a mutant culture was starved for unsaturated fatty acids and harvested just before the lysis started, the fatty acid composition of the cells was the same as that of cells grown until lat...

A set of genetically engineered Escherichia coli strains was constructed, in which the promoter of the fabA gene is fused to Vibrio fischeri luxCDABE either in a multi-copy plasmid or as a single copy chromosomal integration. The fabA gene codes for beta-hydroxydecanoyl-ACP dehydrase, a key enzyme in the synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, and is induced when fatty acid biosynthesis pathways ...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation of membrane lipid homeostasis in Escherichia coli.
The biophysical properties of membrane phospholipids are controlled by the composition of their constituent fatty acids and are tightly regulated in Escherichia coli. The FabR (fatty acid biosynthesis repressor) transcriptional repressor controls the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids in the membrane by regulating the expression of the fabB (beta-ketoacyl-ACP synthase I) and fabA (beta-hydro...
