BETA-KETOACYL-ACP SYNTHASE II FROM ESCHERICHIA COLI
OverviewOverview
In the biosynthesis of fatty acids, the beta-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein, (ACP) synthases catalyze chain elongation by the addition of two-carbon, units derived from malonyl-ACP to an acyl group bound to either ACP or, CoA. The crystal structure of beta-ketoacyl synthase II from Escherichia, coli has been determined with the multiple isomorphous replacement method, and refined at 2.4 A resolution. The subunit consists of two mixed, five-stranded beta-sheets surrounded by alpha-helices. The two sheets are, packed against each other in such a way that the fold can be described as, consisting of five layers, alpha-beta-alpha-beta-alpha. The enzyme is a, homodimer, and the subunits are related by a crystallographic 2-fold axis., The two active sites are located near the dimer interface but are, approximately 25 A apart. The proposed nucleophile in the reaction, Cys163, is located at the bottom of a mainly hydrophobic pocket which is, also lined with several conserved polar residues. In spite of very low, overall sequence homology, the structure of beta-ketoacyl synthase is, similar to that of thiolase, an enzyme involved in the beta-oxidation, pathway, indicating that both enzymes might have a common ancestor.
