  • 摘要:To identify the minimum set of polyketide synthase (PKS) components required for in vivo biosynthesis of aromatic polyketides, combinations of genes encoding subunits of three different aromatic PKSs--act from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) (an actinorhodin producer), fren from Streptomyces roseofulvus (a frenolicin and nanaomycin producer), and tcm from Streptomyces glaucescens (a tetracenomycin producer)--were expressed in a recently developed Streptomyces host-vector system. The "minimal" components (ketosynthase/putative acyltransferase, chain length-determining factor, and acyl carrier protein) were produced with and without a functional polyketide ketoreductase and/or cyclase, and the polyketide products of these recombinant strains were structurally characterized. Several previously identified polyketides were isolated in addition to two previously unidentified polyketides, dehydromutactin and SEK 15b, described here. The results proved that the act cyclase is not required for the biosynthesis of several aberrantly cyclized products that have been previously reported. They are also consistent with earlier conclusions that the minimal PKS controls chain length as well as the regiospecificity of the first cyclization and that it can do so in the absence of both a ketoreductase and a cyclase. However, the ability of the minimal tcm PKS to synthesize two different singly cyclized intermediates suggests that it is unable to accurately control the course of this reaction by itself. In the presence of a downstream enzyme, the flux through one branch of the cyclization pathway increases relative to the other. We propose that these alternative specificities may be due to the ability of downstream enzymes to associate with the minimal PKS and to selectively inhibit a particular branch of the cyclization pathway.
