Acyl carrier protein

Index Acyl carrier protein

The acyl carrier protein (ACP) is an important component in both fatty acid and polyketide biosynthesis with the growing chain bound during synthesis as a thiol ester at the distal thiol of a 4'-phosphopantetheine moiety. [1]

Actinorhodin

Actinorhodin is a benzoisochromanequinone polyketide antibiotic produced by Streptomyces coelicolor.

Acyl carrier protein synthase

Acyl carrier protein synthases (ACPS) are members of the family of phosphopantethienyl transferases responsible for the conversion of the inactive apo-Acyl carrier protein from fatty acid or polyketide biosynthesis into the active holo form through the post-translational addition of a 4'-phosphopantethiene chain derived from coenzyme A. Category:Transferases.

Fatty acid

In chemistry, particularly in biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic chain, which is either saturated or unsaturated.

Nonribosomal peptide

Nonribosomal peptides (NRP) are a class of peptide secondary metabolites, usually produced by microorganisms like bacteria and fungi.

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of proteins

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of proteins (usually abbreviated protein NMR) is a field of structural biology in which NMR spectroscopy is used to obtain information about the structure and dynamics of proteins, and also nucleic acids, and their complexes.

Phosphopantetheine

Phosphopantetheine, also known as 4'-Phosphopantetheine, is an essential prosthetic group of acyl carrier protein (ACP) and peptidyl carrier proteins (PCP) and aryl carrier proteins (ArCP) derived from Coenzyme A. It is also present in formyltetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase.

Polyketide

Polyketides are a class of secondary metabolites produced by certain living organisms in order to impart to them some survival advantage.

Polyketide synthase

Polyketide synthases (PKSs) are a family of multi-domain enzymes or enzyme complexes that produce polyketides, a large class of secondary metabolites, in bacteria, fungi, plants, and a few animal lineages.

4'-phosphopantetheinyl transferase

In molecular biology, the 4'-phosphopantetheinyl transferase superfamily of proteins transfer a 4'-phosphopantetheine (4'-PP) moiety from coenzyme A (CoA) to an invariant serine in an acyl carrier protein (ACP), a small protein responsible for acyl group activation in fatty acid biosynthesis.
