Reaction | Comment | Organism | Reaction ID |
---|---|---|---|
acetyl-CoA + a malonyl-[acyl-carrier protein] = an acetoacetyl-[acyl-carrier protein] + CoA + CO2 | two-stage mechanism, driven by a dipole moment, the active site cysteine, Cys112 in YpFabH attacks the acyl group of a fatty acyl donor, transferring the acyl group to the enzyme. The bound fatty acyl donor molecule is displaced, and the receiving molecule or fatty acyl thioester to be elongated binds, initiating the transfer of the acyl group from the condensing enzyme to the recipient. The remaining residues of the catalytic triad, His243 and Asn273, are thought to stabilise the fatty acyl intermediate during transition states | Yersinia pestis |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
metabolism | the beta-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) synthases, FabB, FabF, and FabH, catalyse the Claisen condensation of fatty acyl-thioesters and malonyl-ACP to form a 3-oxoacyl-ACP intermediate elongated by two carbon atoms. The initial cycle of elongation is catalysed by FabH, involving condensation of malonyl-ACP and acetyl-CoA, while subsequent cycles of elongation are performed by FabB or FabF | Yersinia pestis |
additional information | enzyme structure and active site architecture, comparison with FabF, EC 2.3.1.179. Possible substrate and inhibitor interactions of Yersinia pestis FabH, Arg151 of YpFabH clashes with the adenine ring of CoA | Yersinia pestis |
