Comments

FUNCTION: Acyl-protein synthetase activates tetradecanoic acid. It is a component of the fatty acid reductase complex responsible for converting tetradecanoic acid to the aldehyde which serves as substrate in the luciferase-catalyzed reaction.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + an acid + protein = AMP + diphosphate + an acyl-protein thioester.
PATHWAY: Lipid metabolism; bioluminescent fatty acid reduction .
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the luxE family.
