Mapping the biosynthetic pathway of a hybrid polyketide-nonribosomal peptide in a metazoan
The only known animal polyketide-nonribosomal peptides, the nemamides, are biosynthesized by two megasynthetases in the canal-associated neurons (CANs) of C. elegans. Here, the authors map the biosynthetic roles of individual megasynthetase domains and identify additional enzymes in the CANs require...
