The enediyne antitumorantibioticneocarzinostatin (NCS) is produced by Streptomyces carzinostaticus ATCC15944. The biosynthetic pathway for the naphthoic acid moiety (boxed) of the NCSchromophore (1) is proposed to comprise five enzymes: NcsB, NcsB1, NcsB2, NcsB3, NcsB4. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments were used to support the proposed pathway. NcsB2 was characterized for the ability to catalyze
