Animation of a minimal type I Iterative PKS in action

Reaction mechanism of
iterative minimal polyketide synthases (PKS)
Polyketide synthases are multidomain enzymes that catalyze the
condensation of ketide units (starter unit and extender units) resulting in the
formation of polyketides. The reaction is driven by decarboxylation of the
extender unit during condensation, which is also known as a Claisen
condensation.
The motivation for making this animation was that many of our students
struggled with understanding how the different substrates and products were
moved around inside the PKS, during biosynthesis.
The following slides shows the conceptual reaction mechanism and is not
correct in chemical terms with respect to the flow of electrons.

Coenzym A also contains a 4-phosphopantetheine group,
similar to that found on the ACP domain of PKSs. The terminal
thioester group serves at the attachment point for acetyl and
malonyl units.

Release from the enzyme
At this stage the enzyme faces a
choice, whether to continue with
additional rounds of condensations or
to release the polyketide chain from
the enzyme.
The number of condensation rounds
(iterations) that the individual PKSs
perform is at present not predictable.
One hypothesis is that the size
(volume) of the active site in the KS
domain could be the deciding factor for
total number of iterations possible.
