Abstract:Although the domains of cis-acyltransferase (cis-AT) modular polyketides synthases (PKSs) have been understood at atomic resolution for over a decade, the domain-domain interactions responsible for the architectures and activities of these giant molecular assembly lines remain largely uncharacterized. The multimeric structure of the α6β6 fungal fatty acid synthase (FAS) provides 6 equivalent reaction chambers for its acyl carrier protein (ACP) domains to shuttle carbon building blocks and the growing acyl chai… Show more
