ABSTRACT Type III polyketide synthases (PKSs) synthesize a variety of aromatic polyketides in plants, fungi, and bacteria. The bacterial genome projects predicted that probable type III PKS genes are distributed in a wide variety of gram-positive and -negative bacteria. The gram-positive model microorganism Bacillus subtilis contained the bcsA-ypbQ operon, which appeared to encode a type III PKS and a methyltransferase, respectively. Here, we report the characterization of bcsA (renamed bpsA, for Bacillus pyrone synthase, on the basis of its function) and ypbQ, which are involved in the biosynthesis of aliphatic polyketides. In vivo analysis demonstrated that BpsA was a type III PKS catalyzing the synthesis of triketide pyrones from long-chain fatty acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) thioesters as starter substrates and malonyl-CoA as an extender substrate, and YpbQ was a methyltransferase acting on the triketide pyrones to yield alkylpyrone methyl ethers. YpbQ thus was named BpsB because of its functional relatedness to BpsA. In vitro analysis with histidine-tagged BpsA revealed that it used broad starter substrates and produced not only triketide pyrones but also tetraketide pyrones and alkylresorcinols. Although the aliphatic polyketides were expected to localize in the membrane and play some role in modulating the rigidity and properties of the membrane, no detectable phenotypic changes were observed for a B. subtilis mutant containing a whole deletion of the bpsA-bpsB operon.

CsyB fromAspergillus oryzaeis a novel type III polyketide synthase that catalyzes the formation of csypyrone B1 [4-(3-acetyl-4-hydroxy-2-oxo-2H-pyran-6-yl)butyric acid] from fatty acyl-CoA, malonyl-CoA and acetoacetyl-CoA. Recombinant CsyB expressed inEscherichia coliwas crystallized by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystals belonged to spaceP21, with unit-cell parametersa= 70.0,b= 104.8,c= 73.5 Å, β = 114.4°.
