RESUMEN

Polyketides are a large class of bioactive natural products with a wide range of structures and functions. Polyketides are biosynthesized by large, multidomain enzyme complexes termed polyketide synthases (PKSs). One of the primary challenges when studying PKSs is the high reactivity of their poly-ß-ketone substrates. This has hampered structural and mechanistic characterization of PKS-polyketide complexes, and, as a result, little is known about how PKSs position the unstable substrates for proper catalysis while displaying high levels of regio- and stereospecificity. As a first step toward a general plan to use oxetanes as carbonyl isosteres to broadly interrogate PKS chemistry, we describe the development and application of an oxetane-based PKS substrate mimic. This enabled the first structural determination of the acyl-enzyme intermediate of a ketosynthase (KS) in complex with an inert extender unit mimic. The crystal structure, in combination with molecular dynamics simulations, led to a proposed mechanism for the unique activity of DpsC, the priming ketosynthase for daunorubicin biosynthesis. The successful application of an oxetane-based polyketide mimic suggests that this novel class of probes could have wide-ranging applications to the greater biosynthetic community interested in the mechanistic enzymology of iterative PKSs.

RESUMEN

Daunorubicin is a type II polyketide, one of a large class of polyaromatic natural products with anticancer, antibiotic, and antiviral activity. Type II polyketides are formed by the assembly of malonyl-CoA building blocks, though in rare cases, biosynthesis is initiated by the incorporation of a nonmalonyl derived starter unit, which adds molecular diversity to the poly-ß-ketone backbone. Priming mechanisms for the transfer of novel starter units onto polyketide synthases (PKS) are still poorly understood. Daunorubicin biosynthesis incorporates a unique propionyl starter unit thought to be selected for by a subclass ("DpsC type") of priming ketosynthases (KS III). To date, however, no structural information exists for this subclass of KS III enzymes. Although selectivity for self-acylation with propionyl-CoA has previously been implied, we demonstrate that DpsC shows no discrimination for self-acylation or acyl-transfer to the cognate acyl carrier protein, DpsG with short acyl-CoAs. We present five crystal structures of DpsC, including apo-DpsC, acetyl-DpsC, propionyl-DpsC, butyryl-DpsC, and a cocrystal of DpsC with a nonhydrolyzable phosphopantetheine (PPant) analogue. The DpsC crystal structures reveal the architecture of the active site, the molecular determinants for catalytic activity and homology to O-malonyl transferases, but also indicate distinct differences. These results provide a structural basis for rational engineering of starter unit selection in type II polyketide synthases.
