FunctionThought to catalyze the principal conversion of saturated fatty acids to unsaturated fatty acids. Thought to convert stearoyl-ACP to oleoyl-ACP by introduction of a cis double bond between carbons delta-9 and delta-10 of the acyl chain [catalytic activity: stearoyl-[acyl-carrier protein] + AH2 + O2 = oleoyl-[acyl-carrier protein] + a + 2 H2O].
ProductPossible acyl-[acyl-carrier protein] desaturase DesA2 (acyl-[ACP] desaturase) (stearoyl-ACP desaturase)
CommentsRv1094, (MTV017.47), len: 275 aa. Possible desA2, acyl-[acyl-carrier protein] desaturase (stearoyl-ACP desaturase), equivalent to AL049491|MLCB1222_15 from Mycobacterium leprae (275 aa), FASTA score: (78.1% identity in 274 aa overlap). Also weakly similar to plant stearoyl-acyl carrier protein desaturases, and very similar to U49839|MTV043.16C|Rv0824c enzyme desA1 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (338 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 525, E(): 8.5e-30, (32.2% identity in 270 aa overlap); and to U15182|MLU15182_32 acyl-carrier protein desaturase precursor from Mycobacterium leprae (338 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 506, E(): 1.9e-28, (34.1% identity in 261 aa overlap).

Identified in the cytosol and cell membrane fraction of M. tuberculosis H37Rv using 2DLC/MS (See Mawuenyega et al., 2005). Identified in the membrane fraction of M. tuberculosis H37Rv using nanoLC-MS/MS (See Xiong et al., 2005). Identified by mass spectrometry in Triton X-114 extracts of M. tuberculosis H37Rv (See Malen et al., 2010). Identified by mass spectrometry in the membrane protein fraction and whole cell lysates of M. tuberculosis H37Rv but not the culture filtrate (See de Souza et al., 2011). Translational start site supported by proteomics data (See de Souza et al., 2011) (See Kelkar et al., 2011).
TranscriptomicsmRNA identified by microarray analysis and down-regulated after 96h of starvation (see citation below).
