G207A | site-directed mutagenesis, the G207A mutant loses the octaketide-forming activity and yields the heptaketide aloesone in addition to 2,7-dihydroxy-5-[(4-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-pyran-6-yl)methyl]-2-methyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-chromen-4-one/2,7-dihydroxy-5-[(4-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-pyran-6-yl)methyl]-5-methyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-chromen-4-one | Aloe arborescens |
G207F | site-directed mutagenesis, the bulky substitution G207F mutant loses the octaketide-forming activity and yields the pentaketide 2,7-dihydroxy-5-methylchromone | Aloe arborescens |
G207L | site-directed mutagenesis, the bulky substitution G207F mutant loses the octaketide-forming activity and yields the pentaketide 2,7-dihydroxy-5-methylchromone | Aloe arborescens |
G207M | site-directed mutagenesis, OKS G207M mutant completely loses the octaketide-forming activity, but efficiently produces an unnatural pentaketide, 2,7-dihydroxy-5-methylchromone, from five molecules of malonyl-CoA, not a 5,7-diydroxy-5-methylchromne like the pentaketide chromone synthase, EC 2.3.1.216 | Aloe arborescens |
G207T | site-directed mutagenesis, the G207T mutant loses the octaketide-forming activity and yields a hexaketide, 6-(2,4-dihydroxy-6-methylphenyl)-4-methoxy-2-pyrone, from six molecules of malonyl-CoA | Aloe arborescens |
G207W | site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant loses the octaketide-forming activity and yields a tetraketide, tetracetic acid lactone, along with the triketide, triacetic acid lactone, without the formation of an aromatic ring system | Aloe arborescens |
additional information | oktaketide synthase, EC 2.3.1.OKS, and pentaketide chromone synthase, EC 2.3.1.216, are not functionally interconvertible by the single amino acid switch at residue 207 | Aloe arborescens |

additional information | recombinant oktaketide synthase catalyzes sequential condensations of eight molecules of malonyl-CoA to yield a 1:4 mixture of aromatic octaketides, 2,7-dihydroxy-5-[(4-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-pyran-6-yl)methyl]-2-methyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-chromen-4-one and 2,7-dihydroxy-5-[(4-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-pyran-6-yl)methyl]-5-methyl-2,3-dihydro-4H-chromen-4-one, which are the longest polyketides generated by the structurally simple type III polyketide synthase. Recombinant oktaketide synthase accepts acetyl-CoA, resulting from decarboxylation of malonyl-CoA, as a starter substrate | Aloe arborescens | ? | - |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | pentaketide chromone synthase is a plant-specific type III polyketide synthase that belongs to the chalcone synthase superfamily of type III polyketide synthases and grouped with other non-chalcone forming enzymes | Aloe arborescens |
additional information | the critical active-site residue 197, and the catalytic triad, Cys164, His303, and Asn336, are conserved in type III polyketide synthases, while the residues lining the active-site are exchanged to G197, L256, V338 (numbering in Madia sativa CHS). Active-site architecture of pentaketide chromone synthase compared to other type III polhaseyketide synt, crystal structure and hmology modeling, overview | Aloe arborescens |
physiological function | the oktaketide synthase is involved in the biosynthesis of anthrones and anthraquinones in the medicinal plant | Aloe arborescens |
