摘要: Aklanonic acid is synthesized by a type II polyketide synthase (PKS) composed of eight protein subunits. The network interactions within this complex was investigated using yeast two-hybrid system, coaffinity chromatography and two different computer-aided docking simulations. Results suggest that the ketosynthase (KS) alpha beta subunits interact with each other, KSalpha subunit also probably interacts malonyl-CoA:ACP acyltransferase (DpsD), forming putative minimal synthase. We speculate DpsD may physically inhibit priming reaction, allowing choice propionate rather than acetate as starter unit. structural role for cyclase (DpsY) in maintaining overall integrity complex.
