UniProt functional annotation for Q9WY19

UniProt code: Q9WY19.

Organism: Thermotoga maritima (strain ATCC 43589 / DSM 3109 / JCM 10099 / NBRC 100826 / MSB8).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Thermotogae; Thermotogales; Thermotogaceae; Thermotoga.
 
Function: Carrier of the growing fatty acid chain in fatty acid biosynthesis. {ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01217}.
 
Pathway: Lipid metabolism; fatty acid biosynthesis. {ECO:0000256|HAMAP- Rule:MF_01217}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01217}.
Ptm: 4'-phosphopantetheine is transferred from CoA to a specific serine of apo-ACP by AcpS. This modification is essential for activity because fatty acids are bound in thioester linkage to the sulfhydryl of the prosthetic group. {ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01217}.
Similarity: Belongs to the acyl carrier protein (ACP) family. {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00010930, ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01217}.
