Beta-ketoacyl-ACP utilizing enzymes in fatty acid, polyketide and acyl-homoserine lactone biosynthetic pathways are important targets for developing antimicrobial, anticancer and antiparasitic compounds. Published reports on successful isolation of beta-ketoacyl-ACPs in a laboratory remain scarce to date and thus most beta-ketoacyl-ACP utilizing enzymes are routinely characterized using small molecule substrates in lieu of the bonafide 3-oxoacyl-ACPs. We report the systematic investigation into the electronic, geometric and spatial aspects of beta-ketoacyl-chain recognition to develop 3-oxoacyl-ACP substrate mimics for two beta-ketoacyl-ACP utilizing quorum signal synthases.

Background: The prevalence of isolates resistant to first-line beta-lactam drugs is increasing, resulting in reduced treatment efficacy. Investigating the bacterial transcriptome and proteome can uncover links between bacterial genes and resistance mechanisms. In this study, we experimentally assessed in vitro the transcriptional and proteomic profiles of exposed to SICs of meropenem, an effective antimicrobial agent, collected from patients with intra-abdominal diseases at Astana City Hospital, Kazakhstan.

Fatty acids produced by the type-II fatty acid biosynthetic pathway (FAS-II) are essential biomaterials for bacterial membrane construction and numerous metabolic routes. The β-ketoacyl-ACP synthase FabF catalyzes the key C-C bond formation step for fatty acid elongation in FAS-II. Here, we revealed the substrate recognition and catalytic mechanisms of FabF by determining FabF-ACP complexes.

The utilization of natural products in food preservation represents a promising strategy for the dual benefits of controlling foodborne pathogens and enhancing the nutritional properties of foods. Among the phytonutrients, flavonoids have been shown to exert antibacterial effects by disrupting bacterial cell membrane functionality; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. In this study, we investigated the effect of quercetin on the cell membrane permeability of ATCC 27217.

Bacteria use the fatty acid composition of membrane lipids to maintain homeostasis of the bilayer. β-Ketoacyl-ACP synthase III (FabH) initiates fatty acid biosynthesis and is the primary determinant of the fatty acid composition. FabH condenses malonyl-acyl carrier protein with an acyl-Coenzyme A primer to form β -ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein which is used to make substrates for lipid synthesis.

Sanglifehrin A (SFA) is a spirolactam-conjugated, 22-membered macrolide with remarkable immunosuppressive and antiviral activities. This macrolide is a result of a hybrid polyketide synthase (PKS)-nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) assembly line that utilizes (2S)-2-ethylmalonamyl as a starter unit. Here, we report that the formation and loading of this starter unit in the SFA assembly line involve two unusual enzymatic reactions that occur on a discrete acyl carrier protein (ACP), SfaO.
