Mycolic Acid Synthesis Enzyme Complex
- Molecular classification
- Enzyme Complex, Fatty Acid Synthase, Polyketide Synthase
01
Overview
The mycolic acid synthesis enzyme complex is a multi-enzyme system responsible for the biosynthesis of mycolic acids, long-chain fatty acids unique to mycobacteria. It comprises Fatty Acid Synthase I (FAS-I), Fatty Acid Synthase II (FAS-II), Polyketide Synthase 13 (Pks13), and various accessory enzymes. These enzymes catalyze a series of reactions involving primer synthesis, chain elongation, modification, and condensation, ultimately forming the mycolic acids essential for the mycobacterial cell wall. The enzymes involved are key drug targets for treating Mycobacterial infections.
