Identification and Functional Characterization of a Soybean (<i>Glycine max</i>) Thioesterase that Acts on Intermediates of Fatty Acid Biosynthesis
(1) Background: Plants possess many acyl-acyl carrier protein (acyl-ACP) thioesterases (TEs) with unique specificity. One such TE is methylketone synthase 2 (MKS2), an enzyme with a single-hotdog-fold structure found in several tomato species that hydrolyzes 3-ketoacyl-ACPs to give free 3-ketoacids....
