The first structure of a modular PKS domain is reported for the thioesterase domain of the 6-deB synthase. The organization of active site groups suggests reasons for the substrate selectivity of the enzyme as well as hints for engineering this class of enzymes.

Biochemistry. 40:2001;2317-2325. This article reviews discoveries related to the linker regions that allow certain polypeptides of Type I processive PKSs to interact only with others to form a protein channel for substrates and puts these interactions into the context of other well-known protein-protein interfaces.

This provocative set of experiments suggests that PKSs containing a second TE-type protein have evolved a mechanism for editing misprimed ACP domains and thereby maintain high macrolide production levels.
