PKSE biosynthesizes an enediyne core precursor from decarboxylative condensation of eight malonyl-CoAs. The KR domain of PKSE is responsible for iterative β-ketoreduction in each round of polyketide chain elongation. KRs from selected PKSEs were investigated in vitro with β-ketoacyl-SNACs as substrate mimics. Each of the KRs reduced the β-ketoacyl-SNACs stereoselectively, all affording the corresponding β-D-hydroxyacyl-SNACs, and the catalytic efficiencies (k(cat)/K(M)) of the KRs increased significantly as the chain length of the β-ketoacyl-SNAC substrate increases.
PKSE 通过八分子丙二酰辅酶 A 的脱羧缩合生物合成烯二炔核心前体。PKSE 的 KR 结构域负责在每一轮聚酮链延伸中进行迭代的β-酮还原。用β-酮酰基-SNAC 作为底物类似物对选定的 PKSEs 的 KR 进行了体外研究。每个 KR 都对β-酮酰基-SNAC 进行立体选择性还原,均得到相应的β-D-羟基酰基-SNAC,并且随着β-酮酰基-SNAC 底物链长的增加,KR 的催化效率(kcat/KM)显著提高。
