EC 2.3.1.244 Details
EC number
2.3.1.244
Accepted name
2-methylbutanoate polyketide synthase
Reaction
2 malonyl-CoA + [2-methylbutanoate polyketide synthase] + 2 NADPH + 3 H+ + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = (S)-2-methylbutanoyl-[2-methylbutanoate polyketide synthase] + 2 CoA + 2 CO2 + 2 NADP+ + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + H2O
Other name(s)
LovF
Systematic name
acyl-CoA:malonyl-CoA C-acyltransferase (2-methylbutanoate-forming)
Comment
This polyketide synthase enzyme forms the (S)-2-methylbutanoate side chain during lovastatin biosynthesis by the filamentous fungus Aspergillus terreus. The overall reaction comprises a single condensation reaction followed by α-methylation, β-ketoreduction, dehydration, and α,β-enoyl reduction.
