Sysname
malonyl-CoA:hexanoate malonyltransferase (norsolorinic acid anthrone-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
7 malonyl-CoA + hexanoyl-[acyl-carrier protein] = 7 CoA + norsolorinic acid anthrone + [acyl-carrier protein] + 7 CO2 + 2 H2O [RN:
R10239 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
malonyl-CoA [CPD:
C00083 ];
hexanoyl-[acyl-carrier protein] [CPD:
C05749 ]
Product
Comment
A multi-domain polyketide synthase involved in the synthesis of aflatoxins in the fungus Aspergillus parasiticus. The hexanoyl starter unit is provided to the acyl-carrier protein (ACP) domain by a dedicated fungal fatty acid synthase [1].
