β-ketodecanoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] synthase

This enzyme, which has been characterized from the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, catalyses the condensation of octanoyl-CoA, obtained from exogenously supplied fatty acids via β-oxidation, with malonyl-[acp], forming 3-oxodecanoyl-[acp], an intermediate of the fatty acid elongation cycle. The enzyme provides a shunt for β-oxidation degradation intermediates into de novo fatty acid biosynthesis.
