Abstract
Bacterial fatty acid synthesis in Escherichia coli is initiated by the condensation of an acetyl-CoA with a malonyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) by the β-ketoacyl-ACP synthase III enzyme, FabH. E. coli ΔfabH knockout strains are viable because of the yiiD gene that allows FabH-independent fatty acid synthesis initiation. However, the molecular function of the yiiD gene product is not known. Here, we show the yiiD gene product is a malonyl-ACP...
