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