Abstract excerpt
Fungal iterative non-reducing polyketide synthases (NR-PKS) contain a unique product template (PT) domain for aromatic cyclization. Among them, some NR-PKSs, such as the sorbicillin NR-PKS (SorB), have an apparently inactive PT. It is unknown what role such PT plays in NR-PKS programming. In this study, the PT domain of SorB was first dissected and engineered. Removal of the PT domain from SorB did not change the...
