Acyl-chain elongation drives ketosynthase substrate selectivity in trans-acyltransferase polyketide synthases

Type I modular polyketide synthases (PKSs), responsible for the biosynthesis of many biologically active agents, possess a ketosynthase (KS) domain within each module to catalyze chain elongation. Acylation of the KS active site Cys residue is followed by transfer to malonyl-acyl carrier protein,...
