Abstract

Not octa- but nonaketide: The nine-membered enediyne core polyketide synthase SgcE efficiently synthesizes a nonaketide in the absence of any assisting proteins (see scheme), contrary to the suggestion that an octaketide is the product of the synthase under assistance from a thioesterase. This finding redefines the catalytic functions of the polyketide synthase. CoA=coenzyme A.
