ENZYME entry: EC 2.3.1.293

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/2.3.1.293
Accepted Name
meromycolic acid 3-oxoacyl-(acyl carrier protein) synthase I
Alternative Name(s)
beta-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase KasA
Reaction catalysed
an ultra-long-chain mono-unsaturated fatty acyl-[ACP] + malonyl-[ACP] + H(+) = a 3-oxo-ultra-long-chain mono-unsaturated fatty acyl-[ACP] + holo-[ACP] + CO2
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme is part of the fatty acid synthase (FAS) II system of mycobacteria, which extends modified products of the FAS I system, eventually forming meromycolic acids that are incorporated into mycolic acids.
  • Meromycolic acids consist of a long chain, typically 50-60 carbons, which is functionalized by different groups.Two 3-oxoacyl-(acyl carrier protein) synthases function within the FAS II system, encoded by the kasA and kasB genes.
  • The two enzymes share some sequence identity but function independently on separate sets of substrates.
  • KasA differs from KasB (EC 2.3.1.294), by preferring shorter (C-22 to C-36) and more saturated (only one double bond) substrates.
