Abstract

Acyl carrier protein (ACP) is an essential cofactor in the synthesis of fatty acids by the fatty acid synthetases systems in bacteria and plants. In addition to fatty acid synthesis, ACP is also involved in many other reactions that require acyl transfer steps, such as the synthesis of polyketide antibiotics, biotin precursor, membrane-derived oligosaccharides, and activation of toxins, and functions as an essential cofactor in lipoylation of pyruvate and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complexes [PubMed12057197]. The core structure of ACP consists of a four-helical bundle, where helix three is shorter than the others.

Several other proteins share structural homology with ACP, such as the bacterial apo-D-alanyl carrier protein, which facilitates the incorporation of D-alanine into lipoteichoic acid by a ligase, necessary for the growth and development of Gram-positive organisms [PubMed11434765]; and the thioester domain of the bacterial peptide carrier protein found within large modular non-ribosomal peptide synthetases, which are responsible for the synthesis of a variety of microbial bioactive peptides [PubMed10801488].

Browse genome assignments for this superfamily. The SUPERFAMILY hidden Markov model library has been used to carry out SCOP domain assignments to all genomes at the superfamily level.


Alignments of sequences to 10 models in this superfamily are available by clicking on the 'Alignments' icon above. PDB sequences less than 40% identical are shown by default, but any other sequence(s) may be aligned. Select PDB sequences, genome sequences, or paste in or upload your own sequences.


Browse and view proteins in genomes which have different domain combinations including a ACP-like domain.


Examine the distribution of domain superfamilies, or families, across the major taxonomic kingdoms or genomes within a kingdom. This gives an immediate impression of how superfamilies, or families, are restricted to certain kingdoms of life.


Explore domain occurrence network where nodes represent genomes and edges are domain architectures (shared between genomes) containing the superfamily of interest.

There are 10 hidden Markov models representing the ACP-like superfamily. Information on how the models are built, and plots showing hydrophobicity, match emmission probabilities and insertion/deletion probabilities can be inspected.
