Functional analysis of putative beta-ketoacyl:acyl carrier protein synthase and acyltransferase active site motifs in a type II polyketide synthase of Streptomyces glaucescens.

RESUMO

The significance of potential active site motifs for acyltransferase and beta-ketoacyl:acyl carrier protein synthase regions within the TcmK protein was investigated by determining the effects of mutations in the proposed active sites on the production of tetracenomycins F2 and C. In a Streptomyces glaucescens tcmGHI JKLMNO null mutant, plasmids carrying the S351A mutation produced high amounts of tetracenomycin F2 but plasmids carrying the C173A or C173S mutation or the H350L-S351A double mutation produced no detectable amount of any known intermediate. In a tcmK mutant, plasmids with the S351A mutation restored high production of tetracenomycin C and plasmids carrying the other mutations were able to complement the chromosomal defect to some extent. None of the mutations affected the amount of TcmK produced.
