Abstract excerpt
The lcf1(+) gene, which encodes a long chain fatty acyl-CoA synthetase, is necessary for the maintenance of viability after entry into the stationary phase in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. In this study, we analyzed a paralogous gene, SPBP4H10.11c (named lcf2(+)), and we present evidence that the gene encodes a new fatty acyl-CoA synthetase. The enzyme preferentially recognized myristic acid as a substrate. A...
