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, beta-ketoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] synthase I, it differs in that palmitoleoyl-[acyl-carrier protein] is not a good substrate of EC 2.3.1.41 but is an excellent substrate of this enzyme [1,2]. 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. This enzyme 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 [3,4].

purified recombinant wild-type and mutant E383A enzymes, hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method at room temperature, 0.001 ml of protein solution, containing 10 mg/mlprotein in 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 50 mM NaCl, and 10% glycerol, is mixed with 0.001 ml of precipitating solution, containing 0.2 M sodium acetate, 0.1 M Tris-HCl, pH 8.5, and 30% PEG 4000, formation of different crystal forms, X-ray diffraction structure determinations and analysis at 1.3-2.1 A resolution
crystal structure determination and comparison to the wild-type enzyme, the mutation E383A appears to play a key role in disfavouring the less desirable triclinic crystal form and in generating a new surface for a packing interaction that stabilizes the new crystal form
site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows no condensation activity but retains about 50% of wild-type transacylation activity with acyl-ACP and ACP, and 40% of wild-type decarboxylation activity
