FabA-like domain
This enzyme domain has a HotDog fold. (from Pfam)
3-hydroxyacyl-ACP dehydratase FabZ
3-hydroxyacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] dehydratase FabZ catalyzes the dehydration of beta-hydroxyacyl-ACP to trans-2-acyl-ACP
This enzyme, FabZ, shows overlapping substrate specificity with FabA with regard to chain length in fatty acid biosynthesis. FabZ works preferentially on shorter chains and is often designated (3R)-hydroxymyristoyl-[acyl carrier protein] dehydratase, although its actual specificity is broader. Unlike FabA, FabZ does not function as an isomerase and cannot initiate unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis. However, only FabZ can act during the elongation of unsaturated fatty acid chains.
Essential for membrane formation; performs third step of type II fatty acid biosynthesis; catalyzes dehydration of (3R)-hydroxyacyl-ACP to trans-2-acyl-ACP
