EC 2.3.1.38 Details
EC number
2.3.1.38
Accepted name
[acyl-carrier-protein] S-acetyltransferase
Reaction
acetyl-CoA + an [acyl-carrier protein] = CoA + an acetyl-[acyl-carrier protein]
Other name(s)
acetyl coenzyme A-acyl-carrier-protein transacylase, [acyl-carrier-protein]-acetyltransferase, [ACP]-acetyltransferase, acetyl-CoA:[acyl-carrier-protein] S-acetyltransferase
Systematic name
acetyl-CoA:[acyl-carrier protein] S-acetyltransferase
CAS registry number
37257-16-2
Comment
This enzyme, along with EC 2.3.1.39, [acyl-carrier-protein] S-malonyltransferase, is essential for the initiation of fatty-acid biosynthesis in bacteria. The substrate acetyl-CoA protects the enzyme against inhibition by N-ethylmaleimide or iodoacetamide [4]. This is one of the activities associated with β-ketoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] synthase III (EC 2.3.1.180) [5].
