Fatty acid metabolism. A. Biosynthesis of cytoplasmic fatty acids (palmitic, oleic and linoleic acid) in Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous. Numbers in circles indicate the individual enzymes and letters the individual domains on the fatty acid synthase (FAS) 1 and 2 complexes. Additional numbers in parenthesis refer to mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis. Names and gene numbers from the X. dendrorhous genome are listed in Table 3. B. Functional domains on the fatty acid synthase complex FAS1 and FAS2. AT malonyl transferase, ER enoyl reductase, DH hydroxyacyl dehydratase, MPT malonyl/palmitoyl transferase, KR ketoacyl reductase, KS ketoacyl synthase, PPT phosphopantetheinyl transferase. For details on these genes see Table 3.
