Abstract
The acyl carrier protein (ACP) of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) functions as a molecular chaperone during the biosynthesis of the polyketide actinorhodin (act), Here we compare structural features of the polyketide synthase (PKS) ACP, determined by two-dimensional H-1-NMR, with the Escherichia coli fatty acid synthase (FAS) ACP. The PKS ACP contains four helices (residues 7-16 [A], 42-53 [B], 62-67 [C], 72-86 [D]), and a large loop (residues 17-41) having no defined secondary structure with the exception of a turn between residues 21 and 24, The act ACP shows 47% sequence similarity with the E. coli FAS ACP and the results demonstrate that the sequence homology is extended to the secondary structure of the proteins.
