The hotdog fold was initially identified in the E. coli FabA (beta-hydroxydecanoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP)-dehydratase) structure and subsequently in 4HBT (4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA thioesterase) from Pseudomonas. A number of other seemingly unrelated proteins also share the hotdog fold. These proteins have related, but distinct, catalytic activities that include metabolic roles such as thioester hydrolysis in fatty acid metabolism, and degradation of phenylacetic acid and the environmental pollutant 4-chlorobenzoate. This superfamily also includes the PaaI-like protein FapR, a non-catalytic bacterial homolog involved in transcriptional regulation of fatty acid biosynthesis.
