== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/AAR_SYNE7 AAR_SYNE7] Catalyzes the NADP-dependent reduction of long-chain acyl-ACP to the corresponding fatty aldehyde. Involved in the biosynthesis of alkanes, mainly heptadecane and pentadecane, by producing the fatty aldehydes used by aldehyde decarbonylase.<ref>PMID:20671186</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Long-chain alk(a/e)nes represent the major constituents of conventional transportation fuels. Biosynthesis of alkanes is ubiquitous in many kinds of organisms. Cyanobacteria possess two enzymes, acyl-acyl carrier protein (acyl-ACP) reductase (AAR) and aldehyde-deformylating oxygenase (ADO), which function in a two-step alkane biosynthesis pathway. These two enzymes act in series and possibly form a complex that efficiently converts long chain fatty acyl-ACP/fatty acyl-CoA into hydrocarbon. While the structure of ADO has been previously described, structures of both AAR and AAR-ADO complex have not been solved, preventing deeper understanding of this pathway. Here, we report a ligand-free AAR structure, and three AAR-ADO complex structures in which AARs bind various ligands. Our results reveal the binding pattern of AAR with its substrate/cofactor, and suggest a potential aldehyde-transferring channel from AAR to ADO. Based on our structural and biochemical data, we proposed a model for the complete catalytic cycle of AAR.
