Challenges and opportunities for engineering assembly-line polyketide biosynthesis in Escherichia coli

Assembly-line polyketide synthases generate natural products that have led to many live-saving drugs. The use of E. coli as a heterologous host for reconstituting these enormous and complex enzymatic machines has and will continue to be a critical strategy for understanding them. Here, we concisely...

description Assembly-line polyketide synthases generate natural products that have led to many live-saving drugs. The use of E. coli as a heterologous host for reconstituting these enormous and complex enzymatic machines has and will continue to be a critical strategy for understanding them. Here, we concisely summarize successful examples in exploiting E. coli for assembly-line polyketide biosynthesis as well as offer examples of new challenges in which this approach is primed to tackle.
