Offloading Role of a Discrete Thioesterase in Type II Polyketide Biosynthesis

ABSTRACT Type II polyketides are a group of secondary metabolites with various biological activities. In nature, biosynthesis of type II polyketides involves multiple enzymatic steps whereby key enzymes, including ketoacyl-synthase (KSα), chain length factor (KSβ), and acyl carrier protein (ACP), ar...
