From: Identification of amino acid residues involved in substrate specificity of plant acyl-ACP thioesterases using a bioinformatics-guided approach

Figure 1

The FatA and FatB classes of plant acyl-ACP thioesterases. Enzymes in the FatA class are active on 18:1-ACP while those in the FatB class are active on saturated fatty acids of various chain lengths. Only enzymes whose substrate specificity has been demonstrated experimentally are shown. The NCBI accession numbers are provided in the figure. Numbers in the enzyme name were designated by depositors, except in the case of AtFatA3 and AtFatA4 where the number refers to the chromosome location of the gene as a way to distinguish between the sequences.
