Abstract excerpt
The acyl carrier proteins (ACPs) of fatty acid synthesis are functional only when modified by attachment of the prosthetic group, 4'-phosphopantetheine (4'-PP), which is transferred from CoA to the hydroxyl group of a specific serine residue. Almost 40 years ago Vagelos and Larrabee reported an enzyme from Escherichia coli that removed the prosthetic group. We report that this enzyme, called ACP hydrolyase or ACP...
