2.3.1.239 10-deoxymethynolide synthase
IUBMB Comments
The product, 10-deoxymethynolide, contains a 12-membered ring and is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of methymycin in the bacterium Streptomyces venezuelae. The enzyme also produces narbonolide (see EC 2.3.1.240, narbonolide synthase). The enzyme has 29 active sites arranged in four polypeptides (pikAI - pikAIV) with a loading domain, six extension modules and a terminal thioesterase domain. Each extension module contains a ketosynthase (KS), keto reductase (KR), an acyltransferase (AT) and an acyl-carrier protein (ACP). Not all active sites are used in the biosynthesis.
The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Streptomyces venezuelae

additional information
both PikAIV(DELTAAT) and PikAIV(DELTAACP) display similar apparent kcat values for 10-deoxymethynolide production, which are approximately 2fold lower than the calculated kcat from wild-type PikAIII and PikAIV. Likewise, both PikAIV mutants display similar apparent KM values that are also reduced 2fold when compared to the KM from PikAIII and PikAIV. The equivalent decrease in the apparent kinetic parameters for both mutants results in a specificity constant (kcat/KM) that is comparable to wild-type, further emphasizing the non-critical role of these catalytic domains in 10-deoxymethynolide production. Both PikAIII(DELTADock) (partial deletions of PikAIII C-terminal domain) and PikAIV(DELTADock) (partial deletion of PikAIV N-terminal docking domains) display apparent kcat values (0.044/min and 0.053/min), which are significantly decrease relative to the kcat observed with wild-type PikAIII and PikAIV. The apparent KM values for PikAIII(DELTADock) and PikAIV (DELTADock) decrease 35 fold compared to wild-type, resulting in specificity constants (kcat/KM) that are 14fold and 8fold lower, respectively. Combining PikAIII(DELTADock) and PikAIV(DELTADock) together do not result in an additional rate decrease. The kinetic parameters are comparable to those obtained when either truncated monomodule is paired with its wild-type partner

physiological function
-
in modular type I polyketide synthases the presence of the three processing domains, i.e. ketoreductase (KR), dehydratase (DH), and enoylreductase (ER), are varied in each module, leading to a fully reduced, partially reduced, or unreduced segment on the polyketide chain. Dehydratase PikDH2 converts D-alcohol substrates to trans-olefin products. The reaction is reversible with equilibrium constants ranging from 1.2 to 2. The enzyme activity is robust, and PikDH2 can be used for the chemoenzymatic synthesis of unsaturated triketide products. PikDH2 shows remarkably strict substrate specificity and is unable to turn over substrates that are epimeric at the beta-, gamma-, or delta-position

PikAI is a multimodular component of the pikromyin polyketide synthase and houses both the loading domain and the first two extension modules, joined by short intraprotein linkers. PikAI can be separated into two proteins at either of these linkers, only when matched pairs of docking domains from a heterologous modular phoslactomycin polyketide synthase are used in place of the intraprotein linker. In both cases the yields of pikromycin produced by the Streptomyces venezuelae mutant are 50% of that of a Streptomyces venezuelae strain expressing the native trimodular PikAI. This observation provides evidence that such separations do not dramatically impact the efficiency of the entire in vivo biosynthetic process. Expression of module 2 as a monomodular protein fused to a heterologous N-terminal docking domain is also observed to give almost a tenfold improvement in the in vivo generation of pikromycin from a synthetic diketide intermediate. These results demonstrate the utility of docking domains to manipulate biosynthetic processes catalyzed by modular polyketide synthases and the quest to generate novel polyketide products

PKS genes from the pikromycin and erythromycin pathways are hybridized in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to generate hybrid libraries. Streptomyces venezuelae strains that expressed active chimeric enzymes with new functionality are capable of producing engineered macrolactones
synthesis
development of a 2-plasmid system that enables the expression of a refactored pikromycin synthase in Escherichia coli and combinatorial biosynthesis of new macrolactones and macrolide antibiotics. One plasmid encodes the 1st pikromycin module (P1) and the upstream portion of the 4thmodule (NP4), the other plasmid encodes the downstream portion of the 4th module (CP4) and the7th module (P7). The incorporation of P2, P3, P5, and P6 into this system yields a functional, refactored pikromycin synthase. Optimization and expression of the thioesterase PikAV improves narbonolide production 2.9fold to 85 mg/l in shake flasks
synthesis
-
substrate engineering approaches to control the catalytic cycle of a full polykeitde synthase module harboring multiple domains. Using alternatively activated native hexaketide substrates, product formation may be controled with greater than 10:1 selectivity for either full module catalysis, leading to a 14-membered macrolactone, or direct cyclization to a 12-membered ring

synthesis
-
versatile method for generating and identifying functional chimeric PKS enzymes for synthesizing custom macrolactones and macrolides. PKS genes from the pikromycin and erythromycin pathways are hybridized in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to generate hybrid libraries. Streptomyces venezuelae strains that expressed active chimeric enzymes with new functionality are capable of producing engineered macrolactones
