FadB, gene for fatty acid degradation from E.coli K12

For E.coli to degrade fatty acid, at least four enzymes – FadA, FadB, FadD, FadE and a transporter—FadL are needed. Long chain fatty acids are firstly being imported by the transmembrane protein FadL. After FAs get into cells, they will be added a CoA by inner membrane-associated FadD (acyl-CoA synthase). β-oxidation is initiated by FadE(acyl-CoA dehydrogenase), which will convert acyl-CoA into enoyl-CoA. The following cycles of hydration, oxidation, and thiolytic cleavage are carried out by tetrameric complex consisting of two FadA and two FadB proteins.
