Partial <i>In Vitro</i> Reconstitution of an Orphan Polyketide Synthase Associated with Clinical Cases of Nocardiosis
6 Jul 2016
Abstract excerpt
Although a few well-characterized polyketide synthases (PKSs) have been functionally reconstituted in vitro from purified protein components, the use of this strategy to decode "orphan" assembly line PKSs has not been described. To begin investigating a PKS found only in Nocardia strains associated with clinical cases of nocardiosis, we reconstituted in vitro its five terminal catalytic modules. In the presence...
