ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.19.26

Accepted Name
acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] 6-desaturase
Reaction catalysed
2 H(+) + hexadecanoyl-[ACP] + O2 + 2 reduced [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin] <=> (6Z)-hexadecenoyl-[ACP] + 2 H2O + 2 oxidized [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin]
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, characterized from the endosperm of the plant Thunbergia alata (black-eyed Susan vine), introduces a cis double bond at carbon 6 of several saturated acyl-[acyl-carrier protein]s.
  • It is most active with palmitoyl-[acyl-carrier protein] (16:0), but can also act on myristoyl-[acyl-carrier protein] (14:0) and stearoyl-[acyl-carrier protein] (18:0).
  • The position of the double bond is determined by its distance from the carboxyl end of the fatty acid.
