RESUMO

NodA controls transfer of a fatty acid in the biosynthesis of lipochitin oligosaccharides by rhizobia. In an in vitro assay, we used de-N-acetylated chitin oligosaccharides substituted with an O-acetyl moiety as acyl acceptor substrates. We show that acyl-acyl carrier protein is used as a donor in NodA-directed fatty acid transfer.
