  1. Reaction mechanism of iterative minimal polyketide synthases (PKS) Polyketide synthases are multidomain enzymes that catalyze the condensation of ketide units (starter unit and extender units) resulting in the formation of polyketides. The reaction is driven by decarboxylation of the extender unit during condensation, which is also known as a Claisen condensation. The motivation for making this animation was that many of our students struggled with understanding how the different substrates and products were moved around inside the PKS, during biosynthesis. The following slides shows the conceptual reaction mechanism and is not correct in chemical terms with respect to the flow of electrons. Next Rasmus J.N.

A flexible group that can transfer the starter and extender units internally in the enzyme. ACP SH Acyl Carrier protein (ACP) KS SH b-ketoacyl synthase (KS) TE SH Thioesterase (TE) Next Rasmus J.N.

  4. CoA S Coenzym A (CoA) Coenzym A also contains a 4-phosphopantetheine group, similar to that found on the ACP domain of PKSs. The terminal thioester group serves at the attachment point for acetyl and malonyl units. Adenin Ribo-3’-phosphat 4-phosphopantetheine = Next Rasmus J.N.

  20. Release from the enzyme CoA SH At this stage the enzyme faces a choice, whether to continue with additional rounds of condensations or to release the polyketide chain from the enzyme. The number of condensation rounds (iterations) that the individual PKSs perform is at present not predictable. One hypothesis is that the size (volume) of the active site in the KS domain could be the deciding factor for total number of iterations possible. AT SH ACP S S KS S SH TE S SH Next Rasmus J.N.

  27. Where does the diversity originate from? In addition to the four catalytic domains (AT, ACP, KS and TE) used by the minimal PKS. Other domains can also participate in the biosynthesis: b-ketoacyl reductase (KR) Dehydratase (DH) Enoyl reductase (ER) Methyltransferase (MET) Cyclases (Cyc) – fold the polyketide chain into an aromatic or macrocyclic compound + alternative extender units different from malonyl-CoA END Rasmus J.N.
