Condensing enzymes from Cuphea wrightii associated with medium chain fatty acid biosynthesis.

The Plant journal : for cell and molecular biology - 1 Mar 1998

Slabaugh M B, Leonard J M, Knapp S J

Abstract excerpt

Seed oils of most Cuphea species contain > 90% medium chain (C8-C14) fatty acids. Thioesterases with specificity for these substrates are important determinants of the medium chain phenotype. The role of condensing enzymes, however, has not been investigated. cDNA clones encoding beta-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) synthase (KAS) were isolated from C. wrightii, a C10/C12-producing species. Deduced amino acid...
