Comments
According to the literature [2] and [3], accyl-carrier protein (C00229) and its acylated protein (C00173) are included as product and substrate, respectively, in this entry.
According to the literature[2] adn [3], the charge relay system, composed of His139 and Asp144, can contribute to the transfer reaction of the acyl chain from either CoA or Acyl-carrier protein (ACP) to the sn-1 hydroxyl group of Glycerol 3-phosphate (G3P), in analogy with those reactions by serine proteases.
Here, Asp144 may modulate the activity of His139, which acts as a general base to deprotonate the acyl acceptor group (or the hydroxyl group) of G3P. The deprotonated hydroxyl group can make a nucleophilic attack on the acyl group, forming a tetrahedral intermediate (I00150).
However, it is not clear how the oxyanion of the intermediate can be stabilized.
