Abstract excerpt
Hybrid multienzyme systems composed of polyketide synthase (PKS) and nonribosomal polypeptide synthetase (NRPS) modules direct the biosynthesis of clinically valuable natural products in bacteria. The fidelity of this process depends on specific recognition between successive polypeptides in each assembly line-interactions that are mediated by terminal 'docking domains'. We have identified a new family of...
