In this review Ewa Maria Musiol and Tilmann Weber at Eberhard Karls University, Tübingen present a summary of genetically and biochemically characterized in trans active ATs, which supply polyketide synthases assembly lines with building blocks and thus, might influence the polyketide structure by their substrate selectivity.
Included in this review are discussions on:
- MmpC involved in mupirocin biosynthesis
- OzmM and OzmC involved in oxazolomycin biosynthesis
- RhiG involved in rhizoxin biosynthesis
- VirI involved in virginiamycin biosynthesis
- TaV involved in myxovirescin biosynthesis
- BryP involved in bryostatin biosynthesis
…. and many more.
