Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1966 Abstract A pantothenate-requiring auxotroph and a β-alanine-requiring auxotroph of Escherichia coli were grown in media supplemented with radioactive pantothenate or β-alanine, respectively. Analyses of extracts of these organisms showed that acyl carrier protein accounts for approximately 90% of the radioactivity associated with the protein fraction ...

Mycobacterial acyl carrier protein suppresses TFEB activation and upregulates miR-155 to inhibit host defense [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Mycobacterial acyl carrier protein (AcpM; Rv2244), a key protein involved in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) mycolic acid production, has been shown to suppress host cell death during mycobacterial infection.

Decoding allosteric regulation by the acyl carrier protein. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2021 SignificanceAcyl carrier proteins (ACPs) are involved in primary and secondary metabolic pathways, including the ubiquitous fatty acid biosynthesis, required for all domains of life. This single protein must deliver pathway intermediates to the appropriate enzyme, distinguishing between a myriad of possible intermediate-enzyme combinations.

Stearoyl-Acyl Carrier Protein and Unusual Acyl-Acyl Carrier Protein Desaturase Activities Are Differentially Influenced by Ferredoxin [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2000 Abstract Acyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) desaturases function to position a single double bond into an acyl-ACP substrate and are best represented by the ubiquitous Δ9 18:0-ACP desaturase. Several variant acyl-ACP desaturases have also been identified from species that produce unusual monoenoic fatty acids.

Interfacial Enzymes Enable Gram-Positive Microbes to Eat Fatty Acids
Membranes, 2023 Exogenous fatty acid (eFA) activation and utilization play key roles in bacterial physiology and confer growth advantages by bypassing the need to make fatty acids for lipid synthesis.

Acylation of the Type 3 Secretion System Translocon Using a Dedicated Acyl Carrier Protein. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2017 Bacterial pathogens often deliver effectors into host cells using type 3 secretion systems (T3SS), the extremity of which forms a translocon that perforates the host plasma membrane.

Acyl Carrier Protein in Mycoplasmas [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1973 Acyl carrier protein (ACP) activity was determined by the malonyl-coenzyme A–CO 2 exchange reaction. It was highest in Acholeplasma laidlawii , lower in A. granularum , and lowest in A. axanthum . The sterol-requiring Mycoplasma
