Abstract

Covering: up to mid of 2018: Type I fatty acid synthases (FASs) are giant multienzymes catalyzing all steps of the biosynthesis of fatty acids from acetyl- and malonyl-CoA by iterative precursor extension. Two strikingly different architectures of FAS evolved in yeast (as well as in other fungi and some bacteria) and metazoans. Yeast-type FAS (yFAS) assembles into a barrel-shaped structure of more than 2 MDa molecular weight. Catalytic domains of yFAS are embedded in an extensive scaffolding matrix and arranged around two enclosed reaction chambers. Metazoan FAS (mFAS) is a 540 kDa X-shaped dimer,
