Polyketide synthesis in vitro on a modular polyketide synthase [PDF]

open access: yesChemistry & Biology, 1995
The 6-deoxyerythronolide B synthase (DEBS) of Saccharopolyspora erythraea, which synthesizes the aglycone core of the antibiotic erythromycin A, contains some 30 active sites distributed between three multienzyme polypeptides (designated DEBS1-3). This complexity has hitherto frustrated mechanistic analysis of such enzymes.

Structure determination of a 4-pyrone from the liverwort Plagiochila bifaria (Sw.) Lindenb. (Plagiochilaceae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The centenary of the presentation in 1907 of the "polyketide" hypothesis by Collie, along with his use of a 4-pyrone as an example, is marked by reporting the discovery and isolation of 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl)-6-methyl-4-pyrone from <i> ...

Cytotoxic Polyketide Metabolites from a Marine Mesophotic Zone Chalinidae Sponge-Associated Fungus Pleosporales sp. NBUF144

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2021
Two new polyketide natural products, globosuxanthone F (1), and 2′-hydroxy bisdechlorogeodin (2), were isolated from the fungus Pleosporales sp. NBUF144, which was derived from a 62 m deep Chalinidae family sponge together with four known metabolites, 3 ...

New Polyketides from a Hydrothermal Vent Sediment Fungus Trichoderma sp. JWM29-10-1 and Their Antimicrobial Effects

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2022
Marine fungi-derived secondary metabolites are still an important source for the discovery of potential antimicrobial agents. Here, five new polyketides (1, 2, and 6–8) and seven known compounds (3–5 and 9–12) were obtained from the culture of the marine-

Cloning and characterization of novel methylsalicylic acid synthase gene involved in the biosynthesis of isoasperlactone and asperlactone in Aspergillus westerdijkiae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Aspergillus westerdijkiae is the main producer of several biologically active polyketide metabolites including isoasperlactone and asperlactone. A 5298 bp polyketide synthase gene ‘‘aomsas” has been cloned in Aspergillus westerdijkiae by using gene ...
