UniProt functional annotation for C5CAR9

UniProt code: C5CAR9.

Organism: Micrococcus luteus (strain ATCC 4698 / DSM 20030 / JCM 1464 / NBRC 3333 / NCIMB 9278 / NCTC 2665 / VKM Ac-2230) (Micrococcus lysodeikticus).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Micrococcales; Micrococcaceae; Micrococcus.
 
Function: Catalyzes the condensation reaction of fatty acid synthesis by the addition to an acyl acceptor of two carbons from malonyl-ACP. Catalyzes the first condensation reaction which initiates fatty acid synthesis and may therefore play a role in governing the total rate of fatty acid production. Possesses both acetoacetyl-ACP synthase and acetyl transacylase activities. Its substrate specificity determines the biosynthesis of branched-chain and/or straight-chain of fatty acids. {ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01815}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=acetyl-CoA + H(+) + malonyl-[ACP] = 3-oxobutanoyl-[ACP] + CO2 + CoA; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:12080, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:9623, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:9625, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:16526, ChEBI:CHEBI:57287, ChEBI:CHEBI:57288, ChEBI:CHEBI:78449, ChEBI:CHEBI:78450; EC=2.3.1.180; Evidence={ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01815};
Pathway: Lipid metabolism; fatty acid biosynthesis. {ECO:0000256|HAMAP- Rule:MF_01815}.
Subunit: Homodimer. {ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01815}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01815}.
Domain: The last Arg residue of the ACP-binding site is essential for the weak association between ACP/AcpP and FabH. {ECO:0000256|HAMAP- Rule:MF_01815}.
Similarity: Belongs to the thiolase-like superfamily. FabH family. {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00008642, ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01815}.
