Emulating evolutionary processes to morph aureothin-type modular polyketide synthases and associated oxygenases
2 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
Polyketides produced by modular type I polyketide synthases (PKSs) play eminent roles in the development of medicines. Yet, the production of structural analogs by genetic engineering poses a major challenge. We report an evolution-guided morphing of modular PKSs inspired by recombination processes that lead to structural diversity in nature. By deletion and insertion of PKS modules we interconvert the assembly...
