Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Functional characterization and ectopic expression studies of chalcone synthase mutants implicate the role of phenylalanine in tailoring the substrate specificity of type III polyketide synthase. Chalcone synthase (CHS) is a plant-specific type III polyketide synthase that catalyzes the synthesis of flavonoids. Native CHS enzyme does not possess any functional activity on N-methylanthraniloyl-CoA,...
