Journal ArticleDOI

Trapping the dynamic acyl carrier protein in fatty acid biosynthesis

TL;DR: A mechanism-based probe is described that allows active site-selective covalent crosslinking of AcpP to FabA, the Escherichia coli ACP and fatty acid 3-hydroxyacyl-ACP dehydratase, providing insight into pathways that can have major roles in the treatment of cancer, obesity and infectious disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Production of anteiso-branched fatty acids in Escherichia coli; next generation biofuels with improved cold-flow properties.

TL;DR: An Escherichia coli strain is developed that efficiently produces anteiso-branched fatty acids, which can be converted into downstream products with lower cloud and pour points than the mixtures of compounds produced via the native metabolism of the cell.
Journal ArticleDOI

Leveraging microbial biosynthetic pathways for the generation of 'drop-in' biofuels.

TL;DR: This review discusses the application of aldehyde decarbonylases to produce gasoline substitutes from fatty acid products, a recently crystallized reductase that could hydrogenate jet fuel precursors from terpene synthases, and the exquisite control of polyketide synthase to produce biofuels with desired physical properties (e.g., lower freezing points).
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of an orthogonal fatty acid biosynthesis system in E. coli for oleochemical production.

TL;DR: This work reports the first example of in vivo function of a heterologous fatty acid synthase in E. coli and uses FAS1 enzymes for oleochemical production to produce oleochemicals including fatty alcohols and methyl ketones.
