A new class EC 7, Translocases, has been added to the EC list. It will be part of ENZYME from release 2018_10. Read more about EC 7 here.

ENZYME entry: EC 2.3.1.38

Accepted Name
[Acyl-carrier-protein] S-acetyltransferase.
Alternative Name(s)
ACAT.
Acetyl coenzyme A-acyl-carrier-protein transacylase.
ACP acetyltransferase.
Acyl-carrier-protein acetyltransferase.
Reaction catalysed
Acetyl-CoA + [acyl-carrier-protein] <=> CoA + acetyl-[acyl-carrier-protein]
Comment(s)
  • Essential, along with EC 2.3.1.39, for the initiation of fatty-acid biosynthesis in bacteria.
  • The substrate acetyl-CoA protects the enzyme against inhibition by N-ethylmaleimide or iodoacetamide.
  • This is one of the activities associated with EC 2.3.1.180.
