ENZYME entry: EC 2.3.1.301

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/2.3.1.301
Accepted Name
mycobacterial beta-ketoacyl-[acyl carrier protein] synthase III
Alternative Name(s)
mycobacterial 3-oxoacyl-[acyl carrier protein] synthase III
Reaction catalysed
malonyl-[ACP] + dodecanoyl-CoA + H(+) = 3-oxotetradecanoyl-[ACP] + CO2 + CoA
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, characterized from mycobacteria, provides a link between the type I and type II fatty acid synthase systems (FAS-I and FAS-II, respectively) found in these organisms.
  • The enzyme acts on medium- and long-chain acyl-CoAs (C12-C16) produced by the FAS-I system, condensing them with malonyl-[acyl- carrier protein] (malonyl-AcpM) and forming starter molecules for the FAS-II system, which elongates them into meromycolic acids.
  • The enzyme has no activity with short-chain acyl-CoAs (e.g. acetyl- CoA), which are used by EC 2.3.1.180, or branched-chain acyl-CoAs, which are used by EC 2.3.1.300.
