The Cell Wall-Associated Mycolactone Polyketide Synthases Are Necessary but Not Sufficient for Mycolactone Biosynthesis
Mycolactones are polyketide-derived lipid virulence factors made by the slow-growing human pathogen, Mycobacterium ulcerans. Three unusually large and homologous plasmid-borne genes (mlsA1: 51 kb, mlsB: 42 kb and mlsA2: 7 kb) encode the mycolactone type I polyketide synthases (PKS). The extreme size...
