Polyketide (ポリケチド)
 Class Overview
Polyketides are synthesized through the polymerization of acetyl units (β-ketomethylene) as in fatty acid  biosynthesis. Typical starter units are short-chain fatty acids (e.g. acetyl-CoA or propionyl-CoA), on to which extender units (e.g. malonyl-CoA or methylmalonyl-CoA) are repeatedly polymerized.
The key reactions for the chain extension are:
-  Claisen condensation by β-ketoacyl synthase (KS)
 -  an acyltransferase (AT), and
 -  an acyl carrier protein (ACP).
 
After elongation, β-ketone is reduced.  In fatty acid biosynthesis, the chain is fully reduced by the following three steps:
-  Reduction to an alcohol by ketoreductase (KR),
 -  Dehydration to the conjugated ester by dehydratase (DH), and
 -  Reduction of the double bond by enoyl reductase (ER).
 
In polyketide synthase, the reduction is patial. 
Finally, the chain is terminated by a thioesterase (TE) activity and
allows Claisen cyclization (CYC).

 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
