This domain is found at the C-terminal of FakA (fatty acid subunit A) proteins, which is part of the fatty acid kinase machinery [1]. In the human pathogens Staphylococcus and Streptococcus, this system is used to scavenge host fatty acids. FakA is an ATP-binding subunit which interacts with varied FakB (fatty acid-binding protein) isoforms and synthesises acyl-phosphate from extracellular fatty acids [1]. FakA comprises three domains (FakA_N, FakA_M and FakA_C) and resembles an evolutionary mimic of the DhaK-DhaL kinase system. This entry represents FakA_C, which acts as a recipient of fatty acids transferred from FakB in the context of Fak activity [1].
This domain is found in fatty acid kinase subunit A (FakA) from a bacterial fatty acid kinase (Fak) system and it is localised between Pfam:PF02734 and Pfam:PF13684. Two major human pathogens, Staphylococcus and Streptococcus, use this machinery to s ...
This domain is found in fatty acid kinase subunit A (FakA) from a bacterial fatty acid kinase (Fak) system and it is localised between Pfam:PF02734 and Pfam:PF13684. Two major human pathogens, Staphylococcus and Streptococcus, use this machinery to scavenge host fatty acids [1]. The Fak complex consists of an ATP-binding subunit FakA, which interacts with varied FakB (fatty acid-binding protein) isoforms, and synthesises acyl-phosphate from extracellular fatty acids [1]. FakA comprises three domains, denoted as FakA_N, FakA_M and FakA_C in [1] of which the middle domain is represented in this entry. It consists of four alpha-helices, four beta-strands and several long loops, containing a zinc finger motif. It shows similarities to the yeast copper chaperone ATX1, a metallochaperone/metal-binding protein.
