Starter unit selection is a central “programming” event in the biosynthesis of polyketide natural products and an important contributor to their structural diversity.[1] Among the iterative, non-reducing polyketide synthases (NR-PKSs) found in fungi this task is carried out by an N-terminal starter unit acyl transferase (SAT) domain. Generally these domains accept acetyl-CoA ubiquitously available in cells to initiate elongation of poly-β-ketide intermediates and account for the classical observation of a “starter unit effect.”[2] Variations on this pattern are known, however, where a specialized fatty acid synthase (FAS)[2b, 3] or a more highly-reducing PKS [4] independently prepare a structurally more complex starter unit, which is selectively utilized to prime overall synthesis. An instance of the former is exemplified in the aflatoxin pathway.[3b, 5] Here the FAS, HexS, comprised of yeast-like subunits HexA and HexB provides a C6 fatty acyl starter unit 1 for the NR-PKS, PksA, to initiate biosynthesis of the aflatoxin (3) precursor norsolorinic acid anthrone (2, Figure 1). Not only does HexS generate a much shorter acyl chain than primary fungal FAS but also it appears to organize into an unusual α2β2γ2 complex with PksA.[3a] In mammals fatty acid synthase (FAS) is a seven domain α2-homodimer whose thioesterase (TE) domain yields free fatty acid products. In fungi, FAS is an eight domain α6β6-heterododecamer lacking TE-domains that uses a malonyl/palmitoyl transferase (MPT) domain to eject products as fatty acyl-CoA thioesters. In vitro radiochemical studies of the HexS• PksA complex failed to show that the C6 unit was released as free hexanoyl-CoA, thus implying, but not proving, that direct channeling to PksA had occurred. Multidomain protein dissection guided by the UMA algorithm [6] has been shown to be a valuable avenue for deducing individual domain function by providing catalytically competent PKS fragments for in vitro reassembly.[2b, 7] This “deconstruction” approach was employed to obtain the domain combinations necessary to reconstruct transacylation between HexS and PksA for detailed analysis.
