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 of PKSs from other plants, and the active
杜鹃花杜鹃花产生杜里铬酸,一种抗艾滋病毒的类萜,由倍半萜和奥数酸(OSA)部分组成。为了表征负责OSA生物合成的酶,从道夫幼叶中克隆了编码新型聚酮合酶(PKS),蓖麻酚合酶(ORS)的cDNA。ORS的一级结构与其他植物的PKS具有较低的同一性,并且ORS的活性位点具有独特的氨基酸组成。细菌表达的重组ORS接受了乙酰辅酶A作为优选的起始底物,并生产了鸟脚酚作为主要反应产物,以及包括OSA在内的四种次要产物。在这项研究中鉴定出的ORS是第一个生成PKS的植物PKS,该PKS产生乙酸盐衍生的芳族四酮类化合物,例如牛油酚和OSA。有趣的是,
