Abstract
We report on the identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis HtdZ (Rv0130), representing a novel 3-hydroxyacyl-thioester dehydratase. HtdZ was picked up by the functional complementation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae htd2Delta cells lacking the dehydratase of mitochondrial type II fatty acid synthase. Mutant cells expressing HtdZ contained dehydratase activity, recovered their respiratory ability, and partially restored de novo lipoic acid synthesis.Entities:
