Long-chain-fatty-acid--AMP ligase FadD32

UniProtKB accession:  A0R618

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Involved in the biosynthesis of mycolic acids (By similarity). Catalyzes the activation of long-chain fatty acids as acyl-adenylates (acyl-AMP), which are then transferred to the phosphopantetheine arm of the polyketide synthase Pks13 for further chain extension (By similarity). Can use decanoate (C10), dodecanoate (C12) and tetradecanoate (C14) (PubMed:23364516, PubMed:26900152).
