Fig. 1. Fungal fatty acid synthesis.
A FAS catalyzed anabolism of saturated fatty acids from acetyl- and malonyl-CoA using NADPH and FMN as cofactors. B Structure (PDB 6TA1) and domain organization of S. cerevisiae FAS. One α- and β-chain that are integrated within the MPT domain are colored in the 3D model and highlighted in the schematic architecture of FAS to the right. The N- and C-terminus of α- and β-chains, respectively, within the MPT domain are shown as an inset.
