Fig. 3From: Expression of fatty acid synthase genes and their role in development and arboviral infection of Aedes aegyptiLinear organization of Aedes aegypti FAS genes showing functional domains. (a) Schematic shows linear organization of seven catalytic and three noncatalytic domains of mammalian FAS annotated by Maier et al. [1]. Seven catalytic domains are shown in big squares, and three non-catalytic domains are shown in smaller squares. KS β-ketoacyl synthase; LD linker; MAT malonyl-acetyl transferase; DH dehydratase; ΨME pseudo-methyltransferase; ΨKR pseudo β-ketoacyl synthase; ER enoyl reductase; KR β-ketoacyl synthase; ACP acyl carrier protein and TE thioesterase. b Schematics show conserved domains or motifs of FAS genes and their organization annotated using Pfam 31.0 software. ketoacyl_synt β-ketoacyl synthase; ketoacyl_synt_C β-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase; ketoacyl_assoc ketoacyl-synthase C-terminal extension; acyl_transf_1 acyl transferase domain; PS-DH polyketide synthase; methyltransf methyltransferase domain; ADH-zinc zinc binding dehydrogenase; KR β-ketoreductase domain; PP-binding phosphopantetheine attachment site; thioesterase thioesterase domainBack to article page
