Abstract

The antibiotic cerulenin is a potent and apparently non-competitive inhibitor of fatty acid synthetase systems isolated from various microorganisms and from rat liver. Cerulenin specifically blocks the activity of β-keto acyl thioester synthetase (condensing enzyme). This effect may account for the inhibition of overall fatty acid synthesis by the antibiotic.
