Highly reducingpolyketidesynthases (HR-PKSs) from fungi synthesize complex natural products using a single set of domains in a highly programmed, iterative fashion. The most enigmatic feature of HR-PKSs is how tailoring domains function selectively during different iterations of chainelongation to afford structural diversity. Using the lovastatin nonaketide synthase LovB as a model system and a
Polyunsaturated fattyacids (PUFAs) such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and arachidonic acid (ARA) are essential fattyacids for humans. Some microorganisms biosynthesize these PUFAs through PUFA synthases composed of four subunits with multiple catalytic domains. These PUFA synthases each create a specific PUFA without undesirable byproducts, even though the multiple catalytic domains
While type II polyketide synthases (PKSs) are known for producing aromatic compounds, a phylogenetically new subfamily of type II PKSs have been recently proposed to synthesize polyene structures. Here we report in vitro analysis of such a type II PKS, IgaPKS for ishigamide biosynthesis. The ketoreductase (Iga13) and dehydratase (Iga16) were shown to catalyze the reduction of a β‐keto group and dehydration

condensation of dihydroxyacetone phosphate with a β-ketoacyl thioester to form a phosphorylated butenolide intermediate in the biosynthesis of the methylenomycin furans, which induce methlenomycin antibiotic production in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). AfsA homologues are also involved in the biosynthesis of 2-akyl-4-hydroxy-3-methyl butenolide inducers of antibiotic production in other Streptomyces species

hallmarks of iterative polyketidesynthases (PKSs) is the programming mechanism which is essential for the generation of structurally diverse polyketide products. In partially reducing iterative PKSs (PR-PKSs), the programming mechanism is mainly dictated by the ketoreductase (KR) domain. The KR domain contributes to the programming of PR-PKSs through selective reduction of polyketide intermediates. How
