Functional dissection and module swapping of fungal cyclooligomer depsipeptide synthetases†
Abstract
BbBSLS and BbBEAS were dissected and reconstituted in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The intermodular linker is essential for the reconstitution of the separate modules. Module 1 can be swapped between BbBEAS and BbBSLS, while modules 2 and 3 control the product profiles. BbBSLS is a flexible enzyme that also synthesizes beauvericins.
