Genetic as well as biochemical data suggest that the yeast fatty-acid synthetase complex has an (AB)6 protein structure where A and B represent multifunctional polypeptide chains with molecular weights of 185000 and 180000 daltons, respectively. Subunit A contains at least 3 and subunit B4 of the 8 known biochemical functions of the multienzyme complex. It is concluded that this complex structure has evolved from the corresponding prokaryotic system of monofunctional enzymes due to a selective advantage regarding the biosynthesis and assembly of the complex components.
遗传学和生物化学数据表明,酵母脂肪酸合成酶复合体具有(AB)6蛋白结构,其中A和B分别代表分子量为185000和180000道尔顿的多功能多肽链。亚基A包含多酶复合体8种已知生化功能中的至少3种,亚基B包含4种。得出的结论是,由于在复合体组分的生物合成和组装方面具有选择优势,这种复杂结构是从相应的原核单功能酶系统进化而来的。
