FabH2 is from ''Bacillus subtilis''. The FabH family of proteins initiates fatty acid elongation by converting an Acyl-CoA into an Acyl-ACP, with is extended by 2 carbon units to form longer chain length fatty acids. Normally, FabH proteins use a simple 2-carbon acetyl-CoA to start fatty acid biosynthesis, resulting in linear fatty acids. However, FabH2 can also use Isobutyryl-CoA, Isovaleryl-CoA, and 2-Methylbutyryl-CoA (products from Valine, Leucine, and Isoleucine degredation, resulting in 2-methyl branched fatty acid production.

FabH2

This part encodes FabH2. [http://2011.igem.org/Team:Washington 2011 University of Washington iGEM Team] has attempted to produce branched alkanes using this part and the Petrobrick.

Usage and Biology

FabH2 is from Bacillus subtilis. The FabH family of proteins initiates fatty acid elongation by converting an Acyl-CoA into an Acyl-ACP, with is extended by 2 carbon units to form longer chain length fatty acids. Normally, FabH proteins use a simple 2-carbon acetyl-CoA to start fatty acid biosynthesis, resulting in linear fatty acids. However, FabH2 can also use Isobutyryl-CoA, Isovaleryl-CoA, and 2-Methylbutyryl-CoA (products from Valine, Leucine, and Isoleucine degredation, resulting in 2-methyl branched fatty acid production.
