FunFam 35: Multifunctional mycocerosic acid synthase

There are 3 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Mycolipanoate synthase. [EC: 2.3.1.252]
A long-chain acyl-CoA + 3 (S)-methylmalonyl-CoA + 6 NADPH + holo- [mycolipanoate synthase] = mycolipanoyl-[mycolipanoate synthase] + 4 CoA + 3 CO(2) + 6 NADP(+) + 3 H(2)O.
  • This mycobacterial enzyme accepts long-chain fatty acyl groups from their CoA esters and extends them by incorporation of three methylmalonyl (but not malonyl) residues, forming trimethyl-branched fatty-acids such as (2S,4S,6S)-2,4,6-trimethyl-tetracosanoate (C(27)- mycolipanoate).
  • Since the enzyme lacks a thioesterase domain, the product remains bound to the enzyme and requires additional enzyme(s) for removal.

Mycocerosate synthase. [EC: 2.3.1.111]
(1) A long-chain acyl-[mycocerosic acid synthase] + 3 methylmalonyl-CoA + 6 NADPH = a trimethylated-mycocerosoyl-[mycocerosate synthase] + 3 CoA + 3 CO(2) + 6 NADP(+) + 3 H(2)O. (2) A long-chain acyl-[mycocerosate synthase] + 4 methylmalonyl-CoA + 8 NADPH = a tetramethylated-mycocerosoyl-[mycocerosate synthase] + 4 CoA + 4 CO(2) + 8 NADP(+) + 4 H(2)O.
  • The enzyme, characterized from mycobacteria, is loaded with a long- chain acyl moiety by EC 6.2.1.49 and elongates it by incorporation of three or four methylmalonyl (but not malonyl) residues, to form tri- or tetramethyl-branched fatty-acids, respectively, such as 2,4,6,8- tetramethyloctacosanoate (C(32)-mycocerosate).
  • Since the enzyme lacks a thioesterase domain, the product remains bound and requires additional enzyme(s) for removal.
  • Even though the enzyme can accept C(6) to C(20) substrates in vitro, it prefers to act on C(14)-C(20) substrates in vivo.

Beta-ketoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] synthase I. [EC: 2.3.1.41]
Acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] + malonyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] = 3-oxoacyl- [acyl-carrier-protein] + CO(2) + [acyl-carrier-protein].
  • Responsible for the chain-elongation step of dissociated (type II) fatty-acid biosynthesis, i.e. the addition of two C atoms to the fatty-acid chain.
  • Escherichia coli mutants that lack this enzyme are deficient in unsaturated fatty acids.
  • Can use fatty acyl thioesters of ACP (C(2) to C(16)) as substrates, as well as fatty acyl thioesters of Co-A (C(4) to C(16)).
  • The substrate specificity is very similar to that of EC 2.3.1.179 with the exception that the latter enzyme is far more active with palmitoleoyl-ACP (C(16)-Delta(9)) as substrate, allowing the organism to regulate its fatty-acid composition with changes in temperature.
