FabH2

[http://2011.igem.org/Team:Washington University of Washington 2011 iGEM Team] has some evidence to indicate cause Escherichia coli to produce linear, even-length chain fatty acids.

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.
