Iterative type I polyketide synthases (PKSs) from fungi are multifunctional enzymes that use their active sites repeatedly in a highly ordered sequence to assemble complex natural products. A phytotoxic macrolide with anticancer properties, 10,11-dehydrocurvularin (DHC), is produced by cooperation of a highly reducing (HR) iterative PKS and a non-reducing (NR) iterative PKS. We have identified the DHC gene cluster in Alternaria cinerariae, heterologously expressed the active HR PKS (Dhc3) and NR PKS (Dhc5) in yeast and compared them to corresponding proteins that make DHC in Aspergillus terreus. Phylogenetic analysis, and homology modeling of these enzymes has identified variable surfaces and conserved motifs that are implicated in product formation. We have identified and heterologous expressed two iterative type I PKSs necessary for production of the phytotoxic anticancer agent 10,11-dehydrocurvularin (DHC) in Alternaria cinerariae. This afforded the unique opportunity for bioinformatic comparison to the analogous metabolite gene cluster in Aspergillus terreus, which highlighted key structural features necessary for metabolite production.
