Improving hydrocarbon production by engineering cyanobacterial acyl-(acyl carrier protein) reductase

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2019
Background Acyl-(acyl carrier protein (ACP)) reductase (AAR) is a key enzyme for hydrocarbon biosynthesis in cyanobacteria, reducing fatty acyl-ACPs to aldehydes, which are then converted into hydrocarbons by aldehyde-deformylating oxygenase (ADO ...

Expression of a recombinant, 4'-Phosphopantetheinylated, active M. tuberculosis fatty acid synthase I in E. coli. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
BACKGROUND:Fatty acid synthase 1 (FAS I) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is an essential protein and a promising drug target. FAS I is a multi-functional, multi-domain protein that is organized as a large (1.9 MDa) homohexameric complex.

Structural classification of biotin carboxyl carrier proteins [PDF]

, 2012
We gathered primary and tertiary structures of acyl-CoA carboxylases from public databases, and established that members of their biotin carboxylase (BC) and biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP) domains occur in one family each and that members of ...

The role of the phosphopantetheinyltransferase enzyme, PswP, in the biosynthesis of antimicrobial secondary metabolites by Serratia marcescens Db10 [PDF]

, 2014
Phosphopantetheinyltransferase (PPTase) enzymes fulfil essential roles in primary and secondary metabolism in prokaryotes, archaea and eukaryotes. PPTase enzymes catalyse the essential modification of the carrier protein domain of fatty acid synthases ...

Acyl Carrier Protein

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1973
Abstract A number of analogues of Escherichia coli apo-acyl carrier protein (apo-ACP) have been synthesized by the solid phase method. A standard isolation procedure was used for all analogues. This involved cleavage from the solid support and deprotection by treatment of the peptide-resin with hydrogen bromide and trifluoroacetic acid. The product was

Antisense PNA accumulates in Escherichia coli and mediates a long post-antibiotic effect [PDF]

, 2007
Antisense agents that target growth-essential genes display surprisingly potent bactericidal properties. In particular, peptide nucleic acid (PNA) and phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers linked to cationic carrier peptides are effective in time kill ...

Inhibition of β-Ketoacyl-Acyl Carrier Protein Synthase III (FabH) by Acyl-Acyl Carrier Protein in Escherichia coli [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1996
beta-Ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) synthase III (the fabH gene product) condenses acetyl-CoA with malonyl-ACP to initiate fatty acid biosynthesis in the dissociated, type II fatty acid synthase systems typified by Escherichia coli. The accumulation of malonyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) following the inhibition of a reconstituted fatty acid ...

Comparative genomic analyses reveal a lack of a substantial signature of host adaptation in Rhodococcus equi (‘Prescottella equi’) [PDF]

, 2013
Rhodococcus equi (‘Prescottella equi’) is a pathogenic actinomycete primarily infecting horses but has emerged as an opportunistic human pathogen. We have sequenced the genome of the type strain of this species, R.

Acyl Carrier Protein

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1970
Abstract β-Ketoacyl acyl carrier protein (ACP) synthetase, which catalyzes the condensation of fatty acyl-ACP with malonyl-ACP to form β-ketoacyl-ACP, has been crystallized in a highly active form which is stable for several months. Phosphate has been shown to cause enzyme activation which may be due to a conformational change of the protein. Guanidine

Role of Esrrg in the Fibrate-Mediated Regulation of Lipid Metabolism Genes in Human ApoA-I Transgenic Mice [PDF]

, 2009
We have used a new ApoA-I transgenic mouse model to identify by global gene expression profiling, candidate genes that affect lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in response to fenofibrate treatment.
