During polyketide and fatty acid biosynthesis, the growing acyl chain is attached to the acyl carrier protein via a thioester linkage. The acyl carrier protein interacts with other enzymes that perform chain elongation and chain modification on the bound acyl chain. Most type I polyketide synthases and fatty acid synthases contain only one acyl carrier protein. However, polyunsaturated fatty acid synthases from deep-sea bacteria contain anywhere from two to nine acyl carrier proteins. Recent stu ...[more]
