Description
This polyketide synthase enzyme forms the (S)-2-methylbutanoate side chain during lovastatin biosynthesis by the filamentous fungus Aspergillus terreus. The overall reaction comprises a single condensation reaction followed by α-methylation, β-ketoreduction, dehydration, and α,β enoyl reduction.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Reaction
acetyl-CoA + malonyl-CoA + [2-methylbutanoate polyketide synthase] + 2 NADPH + 2 H+ + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = (S)-2-methylbutanoyl-[2-methylbutanoate polyketide synthase] + 2 CoA + CO2 + 2 NADP+ + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + H2O
