Plant acyl-ACP thioesterases are enzymes that play a crucial role in various metabolic processes in plants. They function by catalyzing the hydrolysis of thioester bonds specifically between an acyl group and an acyl carrier protein (ACP). This hydrolysis reaction results in the release of the acyl group from ACP, producing a free fatty acid. Thus, acyl-ACP thioesterases are pivotal in regulating the chain length of fatty acids in de novo fatty acid biosynthesis by cleaving them from ACP. | Plant acyl-ACP thioesterases are enzymes that play a crucial role in various metabolic processes in plants.

Usage and Biology
Plant acyl-ACP thioesterases are enzymes that play a crucial role in various metabolic processes in plants. They function by catalyzing the hydrolysis of thioester bonds specifically between an acyl group and an acyl carrier protein (ACP). This hydrolysis reaction results in the release of the acyl group from ACP, producing a free fatty acid. Thus, acyl-ACP thioesterases are pivotal in regulating the chain length of fatty acids in de novo fatty acid biosynthesis by cleaving them from ACP.
In Jatropha curcas, fatty acyl-ACP thioesterase A primarily acts on linoleoyl-ACP to give linoleic acid (C 18:2). The ability of this enzyme to give unsaturated fatty acids–a feedstock much desired for the production of aviation biofuel– at a rate similar to that of its original organism was one of the reasons we had for its expression in our chassis Yarrowia lipolytica.
