Reaction

Reaction Comment Organism Reaction ID
7 malonyl-CoA + hexanoyl-[acyl-carrier protein] = 7 CoA + norsolorinic acid anthrone + [acyl-carrier protein] + 7 CO2 + 2 H2O reaction mechanism, overview. The SAT domain in PksA selects a hexanoyl starter unit. The MAT domain loads the free ACP with malonyl units. After seven successive condensation events with malonyl-ACP catalysed in te ketoacyl synthase domain, the linear ACP-bound polyketide is cyclized (C4-C9 and C2-C11 cyclization events) and aromatized in the product template domain to give the bicyclic intermediate. The thioesterase domain catalyses C-C cyclization to release anthrone, which undergoes oxidation to the anthraquinone norsolorinic acid, to initiate the complex biosynthetic pathway to aflatoxin B1 Aspergillus parasiticus
