Comment
The enzyme is part of the fatty acid synthase (FAS) II system of mycobacteria, which extends modified products of the FAS I system, eventually forming meromycolic acids that are incorporated into mycolic acids. Meromycolic acids consist of a long chain, typically 50-60 carbons, which is functionalized by different groups.Two 3-oxoacyl-(acyl carrier protein) synthases function within the FAS II system, encoded by the kasA and kasB genes. The two enzymes share some sequence identity but function independently on separate sets of substrates. KasA differs from KasB [EC
2.3.1.294 , meromycolic acid 3-oxoacyl-(acyl carrier protein) synthase II], by preferring shorter (C-22 to C-36) and more saturated (only one double bond) substrates.
