Functional replacement of the FabA and FabB proteins of Escherichia coli fatty acid synthesis by Enterococcus faecalis FabZ and FabF homologues.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 13 Aug 2004

Wang Haihong, Cronan John E

Abstract excerpt

The anaerobic unsaturated fatty acid synthetic pathway of Escherichia coli requires two specialized proteins, FabA and FabB. However, the fabA and fabB genes are found only in the Gram-negative alpha- and gamma-proteobacteria, and thus other anaerobic bacteria must synthesize these acids using different enzymes. We report that the Gram-positive bacterium Enterococcus faecalis encodes a protein, annotated as...
