Description
Together with a hydrolase component (EC 3.1.2.2/EC 3.1.2.14) and a reductase component (EC 1.2.1.50), this enzyme forms a multienzyme fatty acid reductase complex that produces the long-chain aldehyde substrate of the bacterial luciferase enzyme (EC 1.14.14.3). The enzyme activates free long-chain fatty acids, generated by the action of the transferase component, forming a fatty acyl-AMP intermediate, followed by the transfer of the acyl group to an internal L-cysteine residue. It then transfers the acyl group to EC 1.2.1.50, long-chain acyl-protein thioester reductase.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage

Synonyms
luxE (gene name); acyl-protein synthetase; long-chain-fatty-acid-luciferin-component ligase
Reaction
ATP + a long-chain fatty acid + [protein]-L-cysteine = AMP + diphosphate + a [protein]-S-(long-chain-acyl)-L-cysteine
