Function

PIKA4_STRVZ Involved in the biosynthesis of 12- and 14-membered ring macrolactone antibiotics such as methymycin and neomethymycin, and pikromycin and narbomycin, respectively. Component of the pikromycin PKS which catalyzes the biosynthesis of both precursors 10-deoxymethynolide (12-membered ring macrolactone) and narbonolide (14-membered ring macrolactone). Chain elongation through PikAI, PikAII and PikAIII followed by thioesterase catalyzed termination results in the production of 10-deoxymethynolide, while continued elongation through PikAIV, followed by thioesterase (TE) catalyzed cyclization results in the biosynthesis of the narbonolide. The thioesterase can use a series of diketide-N-acetylcysteamine (SNAC) thioesters, but has a strong preference for the 2-methyl-3-ketopentanoyl-SNAC over the stereoisomers of 2-methyl-3-hydroxyacyl-SNAC (PubMed:12379101, PubMed:12733905).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Polyketides are a diverse class of natural products having important clinical properties, including antibiotic, immunosuppressive and anticancer activities. They are biosynthesized by polyketide synthases (PKSs), which are modular, multienzyme complexes that sequentially condense simple carboxylic acid derivatives. The final reaction in many PKSs involves thioesterase-catalyzed cyclization of linear chain elongation intermediates. As the substrate in PKSs is presented by a tethered acyl carrier protein, introduction of substrate by diffusion is problematic, and no substrate-bound type I PKS domain structure has been reported so far. We describe the chemical synthesis of polyketide-based affinity labels that covalently modify the active site serine of excised pikromycin thioesterase from Streptomyces venezuelae. Crystal structures reported here of the affinity label-pikromycin thioesterase adducts provide important mechanistic insights. These results suggest that affinity labels can be valuable tools for understanding the mechanisms of individual steps within multifunctional PKSs and for directing rational engineering of PKS domains for combinatorial biosynthesis.
