Fatty acid synthesis protein
The plsX gene is part of the bacterial fab gene cluster which encodes several key fatty acid biosynthetic enzymes [1]. The exact function of the plsX protein in fatty acid synthesis is unknown. [1]. 9642179. Transcriptional analysis of essential genes of the Escherichia coli fatty acid biosynthesis gene cluster by functional replacement with the analogous Salmonella typhimurium gene cluster.

phosphate acyltransferase
phosphate acyltransferase catalyzes the reversible formation of acyl-phosphate (acyl-PO(4)) from acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] (acyl-ACP)
phosphate acyltransferase PlsX
This protein of fatty acid/phospholipid biosynthesis, called PlsX after the member in Streptococcus pneumoniae, is proposed to be a phosphate acyltransferase that partners with PlsY (TIGR00023) in a two-step 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate biosynthesis pathway alternative to the one-step PlsB (EC 2.3.1.15) pathway.
