EC number
2.3.1.221
Accepted name
noranthrone synthase
Reaction
7 malonyl-CoA + hexanoyl-[acyl-carrier protein] = 7 CoA + norsolorinic acid anthrone + [acyl-carrier protein] + 7 CO2 + 2 H2O
Other name(s)
polyketide synthase A (ambiguous), PksA (ambiguous), norsolorinic acid anthrone synthase
Systematic name
malonyl-CoA:hexanoate malonyltransferase (norsolorinic acid anthrone-forming)
Comment
A multi-domain polyketide synthase involved in the synthesis of aflatoxins in the fungus Aspergillus parasiticus. The hexanoyl starter unit is provided to the acyl-carrier protein (ACP) domain by a dedicated fungal fatty acid synthase [1].
