Which of the following carries acyl groups in thio-ester linkage?(a) Acyl carrier protein(b) Acetyl co-A ACP transacetylase(c) Enoyl-ACP reductase(d) Malonyl co-A ACP transferaseThis question was addressed to me during an online interview.I want to ask this question from Biosynthesis of Fatty Acids and Eicosanoids topic in section Lipid Biosynthesis, Biosynthesis of Amino Acids, Nucleotides and Related Molecules of Biochemistry

Answer»

Right choice is (a) ACYL carrier protein

For explanation: ACETYL co-A ACP transacetylase transfers acyl group from co-A to CYS RESIDUE of KS.

β-ketoacyl ACP synthase condenses acyl and malonyl groups.

Malonyl co-A ACP transferase transfers malonyl group from co-A to ACP.
