Polyketide (ポリケチド)
Contents | 
Class Overview
Polyketides are synthesized through the polymerization of acetyl units (β-ketomethylene chain).
| 1st Class | ||

PK5: Five C2 Units citrinin, aflatoxin, augenone, sepedonin, stipitatonic acid  | 
PK6: Six C2 Units plumbagin, 7-methyljuglone, juglone, variotin  | 
| PK7: Seven and eight C2 Units Anthraquinone rings  |

Type I PKS (non-iterative)
- Multi catalytic domains exist in a single protein
 - Chain length is determined by the number of catalytic domains.
 - Products are non-aromatic and have larger masses.
 
Ref. Erythromycin biosynthesis in Nat Prod Rep 18, 380 (2001)
Type II PKS (iterative)
- Three proteins (KSα, KSβ, ACP) are repeatedly used for carbon chain elongation.
 - Chain length is determined by another protein, CLF.
 - In bacteria, products are aromatic (e.g. chiorotetracycline, pradimicin).
 - In fungi, products are both non-aromatic and aromatic.
 
Non-ribosomal peptide synthase (NRPS)
Coupling with PKS and NRPS
- vancomycin ()
 - leinamycin (Curr opin chem biol 7:285, 2003)
 - pseurotin (chem bio chem 8:1736-1743, 2007)
 - curacin (curr opin chem biol 13:216, 2009)
 - epothilone
 - rapamycin
 
PKS in Fungi
- both aromatic and non-aromatic compounds are generated by iterative PKS
 - methyl branch is transferred from methionine, not methylmalonyl CoA
