Polyketide Synthase III isolated from uncultured deep-sea Proteobacterium from the Red Sea- functional and evolutionary characterization by El Bardisy, Hadeel Mansour

“…Preliminary structural analysis showed well-fitted superimposition with the flowering plant Medicago sativa PKS type III crystal structure and predicted the interaction of the catalytic triad with the most common substrate malonyl-CoA. Further optimization of heterologous expression is required to investigate this isolated PKS type III functional activity. …”
