Docking Domain Engineering in a Modular Polyketide Synthase and Its Impact on Structure and Function
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
Abstract Modular polyketide synthases (PKSs) are attractive targets for the directed, biosynthetic production of platform chemicals and pharmaceuticals by protein engineering. In this study, we analyze docking domains from the 6-deoxyerythronolide B synthase, SYNZIP domains, and the SpyCatcher:SpyTag complex as engineering tools to couple the polypeptides VemG and VemH to functional venemycin synthases. Our data show that the high-affinity interaction or covalent connection of modules, enabled by SYNZIP domains and the SpyCatcher:SpyTag complex, can be advantageous, e.g., in synthesis at low protein concentrations, but their rigidity and steric demand decrease synthesis rates. However, we also show that efficiency can be recovered when inserting a hinge region distant from the rigid interface. This study demonstrates that engineering approaches should take the conformational properties of modular PKSs into account and establishes a three-polypeptide split-venemycin synthase as an exquisite in vitro platform for the analysis and engineering of modular PKSs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
