| UniProt functional annotation for P0A6A8 | |||
| UniProt code: P0A6A8. |
| Organism: | Escherichia coli (strain K12). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia. | |
| Function: | Carrier of the growing fatty acid chain in fatty acid biosynthesis. | |
| Pathway: | Lipid metabolism; fatty acid biosynthesis. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_01217}. | |
| Subunit: | Interacts with MukB. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20921377}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm. | |
| 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. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the acyl carrier protein (ACP) family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01217}. | |
