PKSIIIexplorer: TSVM approach for predicting Type III polyketide synthase proteins
UNLABELLED PKSIIIexplorer, a web server based on 'transductive Support Vector Machine' allows fast and reliable prediction of Type III polyketide synthase proteins. It provides a simple unique platform to identify the probability of a particular sequence, being a type III polyketide synthases or not with moderately high accuracy. We hope that our method could serve as a useful program for the t...
متن کاملThe chalcone synthase superfamily of type III polyketide synthases.
This review covers the functionally diverse type III polyketide synthase (PKS) superfamily of plant and bacterial biosynthetic enzymes. from the discovery of chalcone synthase (CHS) in the 1970s through the end of 2001. A broader perspective is achieved by a comparison of these CHS-like enzymes to mechanistically and evolutionarily related families of enzymes, including the type I and type II P...
متن کاملNovel polyketide synthase from Nectria haematococca.
We identified a polyketide synthase (PKS) gene, pksN, from a strain of Nectria haematococca by complementing a mutant unable to synthesize a red perithecial pigment. pksN encodes a 2,106-amino-acid polypeptide with conserved motifs characteristic of type I PKS enzymatic domains: beta-ketoacyl synthase, acyltransferase, duplicated acyl carrier proteins, and thioesterase. The pksN product groups ...
متن کاملPolyketide biosynthesis beyond the type I, II and III polyketide synthase paradigms.
Recent literature on polyketide biosynthesis suggests that polyketide synthases have much greater diversity in both mechanism and structure than the current type I, II and III paradigms. These examples serve as an inspiration for searching novel polyketide synthases to give new insights into polyketide biosynthesis and to provide new opportunities for combinatorial biosynthesis.
متن کاملA Novel Class of Plant Type III Polyketide Synthase Involved in Orsellinic Acid Biosynthesis from Rhododendron dauricum
Rhododendron dauricum L. produces daurichromenic acid, the anti-HIV meroterpenoid consisting of sesquiterpene and orsellinic acid (OSA) moieties. To characterize the enzyme responsible for OSA biosynthesis, a cDNA encoding a novel polyketide synthase (PKS), orcinol synthase (ORS), was cloned from young leaves of R. dauricum. The primary structure of ORS shared relatively low identities to those...
