Amino acids 1-406 form the expressed segment for recombinant Escherichia coli (strain K12) fabB. This fabB protein is theoretically predicted to have a molecular weight of 61.3 kDa. The fabB protein was expressed in e.coli. The N-terminal 6xHis-SUMO tag and C-terminal Myc tag was smoothly integrated into the coding gene of fabB, which enables a simple process of detecting and purifying the fabB recombinant protein in the following steps.
3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] synthase 1 (FabB) in Escherichia coli is an essential enzyme involved in fatty acid biosynthesis, a critical cellular process for the production of phospholipids, lipopolysaccharides, and energy storage molecules. FabB catalyzes the condensation of malonyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) with acetyl-CoA, leading to the elongation of fatty acid chains. This enzyme is part of the type II fatty acid synthesis system in bacteria, distinct from the eukaryotic type I system. The elongation of fatty acids is crucial for the formation of the lipid bilayer in bacterial membranes. Understanding the function of FabB is essential for unraveling bacterial lipid metabolism and can have implications for the development of antimicrobial agents targeting fatty acid biosynthesis.There are currently no reviews for this product.
