Complete Reconstitution and Deorphanization of the 3 MDa Nocardiosis-Associated Polyketide Synthase
17 Mar 2020
Abstract excerpt
Several Nocardia strains associated with nocardiosis, a potentially life-threatening disease, house a nonamodular assembly line polyketide synthase (PKS) that presumably synthesizes an unknown polyketide. Here, we report the discovery and structure elucidation of the NOCAP (nocardiosis-associated polyketide) aglycone by first fully reconstituting the NOCAP synthase in vitro from purified protein components...
