Substrate Controlled Divergence in Polyketide Synthase Catalysis
Biochemical characterization of polyketide synthases (PKSs) has relied on synthetic substrates functionalized as electrophilic esters to acylate the enzyme and initiate the catalytic cycle. In these efforts, N-acetylcysteamine thioesters have typically been employed for in vitro studies of full PKS modules as well as excised domains. However, substrate engineering approaches to control the cata...
متن کاملSubstrate-Assisted Catalysis in Polyketide Reduction Proceeds via a Phenolate Intermediate
SimC7 is a polyketide ketoreductase involved in biosynthesis of the angucyclinone moiety of the gyrase inhibitor simocyclinone D8 (SD8). SimC7, which belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) superfamily, catalyzes reduction of the C-7 carbonyl of the angucyclinone, and the resulting hydroxyl is essential for antibiotic activity. SimC7 shares little sequence similarity with chara...
متن کاملPost-polyketide synthase steps in iso-migrastatin biosynthesis, featuring tailoring enzymes with broad substrate specificity.
The iso-migrastatin (iso-MGS) biosynthetic gene cluster from Streptomyces platensis NRRL 18993 consists of 11 genes, featuring an acyltransferase (AT)-less type I polyketide synthase (PKS) and three tailoring enzymes MgsIJK. Systematic inactivation of mgsIJK in S. platensis enabled us to (i) identify two nascent products of the iso-MGS AT-less type I PKS, establishing an unprecedented novel fea...
متن کاملPolyketide synthase chemistry does not direct biosynthetic divergence between 9- and 10-membered enediynes.
Enediynes are potent antitumor antibiotics that are classified as 9- or 10-membered according to the size of the enediyne core structure. However, almost nothing is known about enediyne core biosynthesis, and the determinants of 9- versus 10-membered enediyne core biosynthetic divergence remain elusive. Previous work identified enediyne-specific polyketide synthases (PKSEs) that can be phylogen...
متن کاملDetection and Relation of Polyketide Synthase (PKSs) Genes With Antimicrobial Activity in Terrestrial Cyanobacteria of Lavasan
Background and Aims: Cyanobacteria are considered as favorable source for new pharmaceutical compounds. To date, the majority of bioactive metabolites isolated from cyanobacteria are either polyketides (PKSs) or non-ribosomal peptides. Despite of several worldwide studies on prevalence of PKSs, none of them included the terrestrial cyanobacteria of the Lavasan. Therefore, this study aimed to de...
