General Information | Comment | Organism |

evolution | pentaketide chromone synthase is a plant-specific type III polyketide synthase that belongs to the chalcone synthase superfamily of type III polyketide synthases | Aloe arborescens |
additional information | active site structure of wild-type and mutant enzymes, overview. Amino acid residue at position 197 in the active site governs the chain length of the polyketide. Leucine at position 256 in the active site for both OKS and PCS influences the substrate preference for malonyl-CoA as a starting unit, while a glycine residue located in the same position and found in the catalytic pocket of chalcone synthase can possibly compel the enzyme to readily accept 4-coumaroyl-CoA as a starting unit | Aloe arborescens |
