Fatty acid synthesis, phospholipid synthesis, and exogenous fatty acid incorporation system of L. monocytogenes. The locus tags for the genes in L. monocytogenes strain EGD-e are annotated below the enzyme symbols. The L. monocytogenes genome encodes the same basic type II bacterial fatty acid synthesis, acyltransferase, and exogenous fatty acid incorporation system as the characterized S. aureus system. The unique aspect of L. monocytogenes is that the L. monocytogenes genome has four putative enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase genes of three different isoforms. The gene LMO0970 is predicted to encode the FabI isoform (53% identity; E value of 1e−89 versus FabI from S. aureus). The gene LMO1688 is predicted to encode the FabL isoform (69% identity; E value of 1e−120 versus FabL from B. subtilis). The gene LMO0814 is predicted to encode the FabK isoform (50% identity; E value of 1e−100 versus FabK from S. pneumoniae). The gene LMO2170 is also predicted to encode the FabK isoform (51% identity; E value of 7e−99 versus FabK from S. pneumoniae).
