Only Acyl Carrier Protein 1 (AcpP1) Functions in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Fatty Acid Synthesis
The genome of Pseudomonas aeruginosa contains three open reading frames, PA2966, PA1869, and PA3334, which encode putative acyl carrier proteins, AcpP1, AcpP2, and AcpP3, respectively. In this study, we found that, although these apo-ACPs were successfully phosphopantetheinylated by P. aeruginosa phosphopantetheinyl transferase (PcpS) and all holo-forms of these proteins could be acylated by Vi...

متن کاملEffect of Various Carboxylic Acids on the Biosynthesis of Polyhydroxyalkanoate in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA01
In the present study, four carbon sources were tested for the polyester synthesis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA01 which is a ubiquitous environmental bacterium and is one of the top three causes of opportunistic human infections. These included linear C8 to C11 carboxylic acids. Octanoic acid, nonanoic acid, decanoic acid and undecanoic acid were added to M1 ...
متن کاملThe Pseudomonas aeruginosa phaG gene product is involved in the synthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoic acid consisting of medium-chain-length constituents from non-related carbon sources.
We recently identified the phaG(Pp) gene encoding (R)-3-hydroxydecanoyl-ACP:CoA transacylase in Pseudomonas putida, which directly links the fatty acid de novo biosynthesis and polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biosynthesis. An open reading frame (ORF) of which the deduced amino acid sequence shared about 57% identity with PhaG from P. putida was identified in the P. aeruginosa genome sequence. Its co...
متن کاملWill the initiator of fatty acid synthesis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa please stand up?
Type II fatty acid synthesis (FASII) is vital for bacterial membrane biogenesis. The first condensation step in the pathway is carried out by -ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) synthase III, or FabH, and subsequent condensation reactions are executed by the FabB/F family of enzymes. The prototypical FabH activity of Escherichia coli catalyzes the condensation of acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA)...
