A Four-Cysteine Zinc Finger in Carboxyltransferase Structurally Links the Functions of Enzymatic Activity and Negative Feedback Regulation of Translation

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase is the first and committed step of de novo fatty acid synthesis in all organisms. In Escherichia coli, the enzyme is expressed as separate proteins for the three functional components: a biotin carboxylase, a biotin carboxyl carrier protein, and a carboxyltransferase. The carb...
