This model represents a large family of enzymes which catalyze the thiolysis of a linear fatty acid CoA (or acetoacetyl-CoA) using a second CoA molecule to produce acetyl-CoA and a CoA-ester product two carbons shorter (or, alternatively, the condensation of two molecules of acetyl-CoA to produce acetoacetyl-CoA and CoA). This enzyme is also known as "thiolase", "3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase", "beta-ketothiolase" and "Fatty oxidation complex beta subunit". When catalyzing the degradative reaction on fatty acids the corresponding EC number is 2.3.1.16. The condensation reaction corresponds to 2.3.1.9. Note that the enzymes which catalyze the condensation are generally not involved in fatty acid biosynthesis, which is carried out by a decarboxylating condensation of acetyl and malonyl esters of acyl carrier proteins. Rather, this activity may produce acetoacetyl-CoA for pathways such as IPP biosynthesis in the absence of sufficient fatty acid oxidation.

acetyl-CoA C-acyltransferase FadI catalyzes the final step of fatty acid oxidation in which acetyl-CoA is released and the CoA ester of a fatty acid two carbons shorter is formed

This subunit of the FadJI complex has acetyl-CoA C-acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.16) activity, and is also known as beta-ketothiolase and fatty oxidation complex, beta subunit, and YfcY. This protein is almost always located adjacent to FadJ (TIGR02440). The FadJI complex is needed for anaerobic beta-oxidation of short-chain fatty acids in E. coli.
