expression of TKS in Escherichia coli, transient co-expression of fluorescent-labeled TKS and OAC in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves shows that TKS and OAC, which lack predicted signal peptides, are both localized to the cytoplasm. Yeast cultures expressing TKS and OAC and fed sodium hexanoate produce olivetolic acid and olivetol in the medium but no alpha-pyrones | Cannabis sativa |

metabolism | the enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of cannabinoids, the glandular trichomes from female cannabis flowers are the primary site of cannabinoid biosynthesis, proposed cannabinoid biosynthetic pathway, overview. TKS synthesizes a diffusible intermediate that is converted to olivetolic acid by OAC | Cannabis sativa |
physiological function | the type III PKS, i.e. tetraketide synthase, from cannabis trichomes requires the presence of a polyketide cyclase enzyme, olivetolic acid cyclase, which catalyzes a C2-C7 intramolecular aldol condensation with carboxylate retention to form olivetolic acid. No physical interaction of TKS and OAC. Polyketide cyclases may play a role in generating plant chemical diversity | Cannabis sativa |
