摘要：

Molecular genetic analysis of the actinorhodin gene cluster from Streptomyces coelicolor has revealed a putative bifunctional cyclase/dehydrase gene. Open reading frame (ORF) 4 from both the actinorhodin (act) and granaticin (gra) polyketide synthase (PKS) gene clusters were able to relieve the block in a mutant strain of S. coelicolor which produces mutactin. This compound is a shunt product of the actinorhodin biosynthetic pathway which results from an aberrant intramolecular aldol cyclization, and a failure to dehydrate the hydroxyl group at C-9. These results provide compelling evidence for the existence of a novel polyketide aldolase which specifies the correct cyclization of a complex oligoketide chain.
