The synthesis of fatty acids is an essential primary metabolic process for energy storage and cellular structural integrity. Assembly of saturated fatty acids is achieved by fatty acid synthases (FASs) that combine acetyl-and malonyl-CoAs by repetitive decarboxylative Claisen condensations with subsequent reduction and dehydration steps.[1] In mammals seven catalytic domains are encoded by a single gene, giving rise to an α2-homodimeric protein. An acyl-carrier protein (ACP) that is post-translationally modified with a CoA derived arm by a phosphopantetheinyltransferase (PPT), tethers the growing fatty acid via a thioester linkage during the iterative catalytic cycle. Such attachment to the holo-ACP arm fosters high effective substrate concentrations during the synthesis. In fungi, however, eight catalytic domains are divided between two subunits, and an architecturally distinct α6β6 canonical complex releases the final product as a CoA ester rather than as a free-acid, as occurs with animal FASs.Several examples are known in fungi where dedicated FASs have evolved to interact with polyketide synthases (PKSs) in secondary metabolic pathways.[2] For example, norsolorinic acid synthase (NorS) is comprised of a pair of fatty acid subunits, HexA and HexB,[3] that synthesize a C6-fatty acid starter unit to prime the associated PKS, PksA, in the formation of the aflatoxin (1) precursor, norsolorinic acid (2).(Scheme 1) These subunits associate into an approximately 1.4 MDa species as estimated by size exclusion chromatography, and they are thought to form an α2β2γ2 complex that is quite distinct from the FAS of primary fungal metabolism.[4] Hexanoyl-CoA was not detected as a free intermediate in in vitro assays, suggesting, but not proving, that a direct transfer could take place between the FAS and PKS subunits. A starter unit: ACP transacylase (SAT) domain in the accompanying PKS was identified that exhibited C6-chain length specificity and catalyzed transfer to the PksA ACP to bridge fatty acid and polyketide synthesis.[5] Such drastic differences in the protein organization of primary and secondary metabolic FASs reflect different evolutionary histories.
