Programmed Iteration Controls the Assembly of the Nonanoic Acid Side Chain of the Antibiotic Mupirocin
13 Oct 2022
Abstract excerpt
Mupirocin is a clinically important antibiotic produced by Pseudomonas fluorescens NCIMB 10586 that is assembled by a complex trans-AT polyketide synthase. The polyketide fragment, monic acid, is esterified by a 9-hydroxynonanoic acid (9HN) side chain which is essential for biological activity. The ester side chain assembly is initialised from a 3-hydroxypropionate (3HP) starter unit attached to the acyl carrier...
