Question
They’re not dehydratases, but a family of enzymes that acts on this functional group frequently contains a 7-stranded antiparallel beta sheet wrapped around a 5-turn alpha helix, forming a HotDog domain. This functional group is hydrolyzed by the ACOT family of enzymes. During fatty acid and polyketide synthesis, the growing chain is linked to ACP via this functional group. A SEA group undergoes an acyl (“ASS-il”) shift to form a peptide-linked example of this functional group in situ in a variant of native chemical ligation. Citrate synthase hydrolyzes this group after binding to oxaloacetate in the first step of the Krebs cycle. Coenzyme A is often linked to fatty acids via this functional group. For 10 points, name this functional group consisting of a sulfur atom linking an acyl (“ASS-il”) group and an R group. ■END■
