ENZYME entry: EC 2.3.1.179

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/2.3.1.179
Accepted Name
beta-ketoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] synthase II
Alternative Name(s)
3-oxoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase I
beta-ketoacyl-ACP synthase II
KASII
KAS II
Reaction catalysed
(9Z)-hexadecenoyl-[ACP] + malonyl-[ACP] + H(+) = 3-oxo-(11Z)-octadecenoyl-[ACP] + holo-[ACP] + CO2
Comment(s)
  • Involved in the dissociated (or type II) fatty acid biosynthesis system that occurs in plants and bacteria.
  • While the substrate specificity of this enzyme is very similar to that of EC 2.3.1.41, it differs in that palmitoleoyl-ACP is not a good substrate of EC 2.3.1.41 but is an excellent substrate of this enzyme.
  • The fatty-acid composition of Escherichia coli changes as a function of growth temperature, with the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids increasing with lower growth temperature.
  • Controls the temperature-dependent regulation of fatty-acid composition, with mutants lacking this acivity being deficient in the elongation of palmitoleate to cis-vaccenate at low temperatures.
