1. Fatty acid synthesis takes a different pathway from its degradation o Occurs in the cytosol(chloroplasts in plants o Acetyl-CoA provides the first two carbons which is elongated by sequential addition of two-carbon units donated from malonyl-COA o Intermediates are attached to the -sh groups of an acyl carrier protein (ACP) o NAdPh is the reductant o The enzymes are associated as a multi-enzyme complex or even being in one polypeptide chain in higher organisms(fatty acid synthase)
1. Fatty acid synthesis takes a different pathway from its degradation ⚫ Occurs in the cytosol (chloroplasts in plants). ⚫ Acetyl-CoA provides the first two carbons, which is elongated by sequential addition of two-carbon units donated from malonyl-CoA. ⚫ Intermediates are attached to the -SH groups of an acyl carrier protein (ACP). ⚫ NADPH is the reductant. ⚫ The enzymes are associated as a multi-enzyme complex or even being in one polypeptide chain in higher organisms (fatty acid synthase)
o Elongation by the fatty acid synthase complex stops upon formation of palmitate (C16), further elongation and desaturation are carried out by other enzyme systems

2. Malonyl-CoA is formed from acetyl CoA and bicarbonate o Salih Wakil discovered that HCo3 is required for fatty acid synthesis o Acetyl-CoA carboxylase(being trimeric in bacteria. monomeric in animals and both in plants) catalyzes this carboxylation reaction The enzyme has three functional parts: a biotin carrier protein; an ATP-dependent biotin carboxylase, and a transcarboxylase. o The enzyme exemplifies a ping-pong reaction mechanism

3. The acetyl and malony groups are first transferred to two-SH groups of the fatty acid synthase complex o The acetyl group of acetyl-Coa is first transferred to the-sh group of a Cys residue on the B-ketoacyl ACP synthase(Ks)in a reaction catalyzed by acetyl-CoA-ACP transacetylase(AT) o The malonyl group is transferred from malonyl-COA to the-SH group of the 4 -phosphopantetheine covalently attached to a Ser residue of the acyl carrier protein(ACP)
3. The acetyl and malony groups are first transferred to two –SH groups of the fatty acid synthase complex ⚫ The acetyl group of acetyl-CoA is first transferred to the –SH group of a Cys residue on the b-ketoacylACP synthase (KS) in a reaction catalyzed by acetyl-CoA-ACP transacetylase (AT). ⚫ The malonyl group is transferred from malonyl-CoA to the –SH group of the 4`-phosphopantetheine covalently attached to a Ser residue of the acyl carrier protein (ACP)

4. Fatty acids are synthesized by a repeating four-step reaction sequence In th the condensation reaction(step l) catalyzed by B-ketoacyl-ACP synthase, the methylene group of malonyl-CoA (linked to ACP) undergoes a nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl carbon of the acetyl group linked to KS, forming the B-ketobutyryl-ACP with simultaneous elimination of co2 ●theβ- ketobutyryl- aCP is then reduced to d-β hydroxybutyryl-ACP(Step 2), using NADPH and the B-ketobutyryl-ACP reductase(KR)
