phthioceranic/hydroxyphthioceranic acid synthase EC#: 2.3.1.287; ChemWhat Code: 1377124
| Product Name | phthioceranic/hydroxyphthioceranic acid synthase |
| Example Structure |  |
| Synonyms | msl2, Pks2, polyketide synthase |
| EC Number | 2.3.1.287 |
| CAS Registry Number | |
| Comments | This mycobacterial polyketide enzyme produces the hepta- and octa-methylated fatty acids known as phthioceranic acids, and presumably their hydroxylated versions. Formation of hepta- and octamethylated products depends on whether the enzyme incorporates seven or eight methylmalonyl-CoA extender units, respectively. Formation of hydroxylated products may result from the enzyme skipping the dehydratase (DH) and enoylreductase (ER) domains during the first cycle of condensation. |
