Overexpression of a type III PKS gene affording novel violapyrones with enhanced anti-influenza A virus activity

Abstract Background Type III polyketide synthases (PKSs) are simple homodimer ketosynthases that distribute across plants, fungi, and bacteria, catalyzing formation of pyrone- and resorcinol-types aromatic polyketides with various bioactivities. The broad substrate promiscuity displayed by type III...
