Designed Biosynthesis of 36-Methyl-FK506 by Polyketide Precursor Pathway Engineering
1 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
The polyketide synthase (PKS) biosynthetic code has recently expanded to include a newly recognized group of extender unit substrates derived from α,β-unsaturated acyl-CoA molecules that deliver diverse side chain chemistry to polyketide backbones. Herein we report the identification of a three-gene operon responsible for the biosynthesis of the PKS building block isobutyrylmalonyl-CoA associated with the...
