β — Hydroxydecanoyl — [acyl — carrier — protein] dehydrase catalyzes the essential step in the formation of unsaturated fatty acids in Escherichia coli. This reaction was characterized with native C10 acyl—acyl-carrier protein (ACP) structures in both an aqueous phase system and a substrate immobilization assay system. The dehydrase is equally active with E. coli ACP, recombinant ACP-I derived from spinach, or protein A:ACP-I fusion (acyl-thioesters). There were differences among the substrates in terms of the equilibrium product distribution. Both E. coli acyl-ACP and recombinant acyl-ACP-I as cosubstrates with β-OH 10:0, trans-2 10:1, or cis-3 10:1 yielded about equal amounts (37 mol%) of the two monoenes regardless of the initial substrate. In contrast, the fusion acyl-ACP-I yielded only 17 mol% cis-3 10:1 with 49 mol% trans-2 10:1 present at equilibrium. These equilibrium values for native cis-3 10:1 are higher than those reported previously for the dehydrase using N-acetylcysteamine thioesters as substrates. The Km values for each β-OH 10:0 ACP substrate were similar to each other and within the range of in vivo concentrations (5–10 μm). Dehydrase reactivity depends more on acyl chain length than ACP structure or origin and is therefore different from other branch point ACP-utilizing enzymes (plant and bacterial) which discriminate according to ACP structure (D. J. Guerra, J. B. Ohlrogge, and M. Frentzen, 1986,Plant Physiol. 82, 448–453).
