An Iterative Module in the Azalomycin?F Polyketide Synthase Contains a Switchable Enoylreductase Domain.

ABSTRACT: Detailed analysis of the modular Type?I polyketide synthase (PKS) involved in the biosynthesis of the marginolactone azalomycin?F in mangrove Streptomyces sp. 211726 has shown that only nineteen extension modules are required to accomplish twenty cycles of polyketide chain elongation. Analysis of the products of a PKS mutant specifically inactivated in the dehydratase domain of extension-module 1 showed that this module catalyzes two successive elongations with different outcomes. Strikingly, the enoylreductase domain of this module can apparently be "toggled" off and on : it functions in only the second of these two cycles. This novel mechanism expands our understanding of PKS assembly-line catalysis and may explain examples of apparent non-colinearity in other modular PKS systems.

Project description:RifDH10, the dehydratase domain from the terminal module of the rifamycin polyketide synthase, catalyzes the stereospecific syn dehydration of the model substrate (2S,3S)-2-methyl-3-hydroxypentanoyl-RifACP10, resulting in the exclusive formation of (E)-2-methyl-2-pentenoyl-RifACP10. RifDH10 does not dehydrate any of the other three diastereomeric, RifACP10-bound, diketide thioester substrates. On the other hand, when EryACP6, from the sixth module of the erythromycin polyketide synthase, is substituted for RifACP10, RifDH10 stereospecifically dehydrates only (2R,3R)-2-methyl-3-hydroxypentanoyl-EryACP6 to give exclusively (E)-2-methyl-2-pentenoyl-EryACP6, with no detectable dehydration of any of the other three diastereomeric, EryACP6-bound, diketides. An identical alteration in substrate diastereospecificity was observed for the corresponding N-acetylcysteamine or pantetheine thioester analogues, regardless of acyl chain length or substitution pattern. Incubation of (2RS)-2-methyl-3-ketopentanoyl-RifACP10 with the didomain reductase-dehydratase RifKR10-RifDH10 yielded (E)-2-methyl-2-pentenoyl-RifACP10, the expected product of syn dehydration of (2S,3S)-2-methyl-3-hydroxypentanoyl-RifACP10, while incubation with the corresponding EryACP6-bound substrate, (2RS)-2-methyl-3-ketopentanoyl-EryACP6, gave only the reduction product (2S,3S)-2-methyl-3-hydroxypentanoyl-EryACP6 with no detectable dehydration. These results establish the intrinsic syn dehydration stereochemistry and substrate diastereoselectivity of RifDH10 and highlight the critical role of the natural RifACP10 domain in chaperoning the proper recognition and processing of the natural ACP-bound undecaketide substrate. The 1.82 Å resolution structure of RifDH10 reveals the atomic-resolution details of the active site and allows modeling of the syn dehydration of the (2S,3S)-2-methyl-3-hydroxyacyl-RifACP10 substrate. These results suggest that generation of the characteristic cis double bond of the rifamycins occurs after formation of the full-length RifACP10-bound acyclic trans-unsaturated undecaketide intermediate, most likely during the subsequent macrolactamization catalyzed by the amide synthase RifF.
