Protein
Alpha-pyrone synthesis polyketide synthase-like Pks11
Organism
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain CDC 1551 / Oshkosh)
Function
Involved in the biosynthesis of tri- and tetraketide alpha-pyrones. Pks18 catalyzes the extension of medium- and long-chain aliphatic acyl-CoA substrates by using malonyl-CoA as an extender molecule to synthesize polyketide products (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the thiolase-like superfamily. Chalcone/stilbene synthases family.
