Mtb FadD proteins (FadD26 and FadD28) are a class of long-chain fatty acyl-AMP ligases (FAALs) that catalyze the transfer of an adenylyl group from ATP to long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) to form LCFA adenylate esters (LCFA adenylate ester). This transfer has the effect of activating fatty acids for further chain extension (Trivedi et al. 2004).
