An atypical 3-ketoacyl ACP synthase III required for acyl homoserine lactone synthesis in < em > Pseudomonas syringae < /em > pv. < em > syringae < /em > B728a

We report that PssFabH1 and PssFabH2 each encode a 3-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase (KAS) III in P. syringae B728a. Whereas PssFabH2 is able to function in redirecting intermediates from β-oxidation to fatty acid synthesis, PssFabH1 is an atypical KAS III protein that represents a new KAS III clade based on its sequence, non-involvement in cell growth, and novel role in AHL synthesis.PMID:38415624 | DOI:10.1128/aem.02256-23
