Specialized acyl carrier protein used by serine palmitoyltransferase to synthesize sphingolipids in Rhodobacteria

Serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) catalyzes the first and committed step in sphingolipid biosynthesis condensating L-serine and acyl-CoA to form 3-oxo-sphinganine. Whenever the structural gene for SPT is present in genomes of Rhodobacteria (α-, β-, and γ-Proteobacteria), it co-occurs with genes codi...
