Biosynthesis of Type II Polyketide Products

Streptomyces glaucescens
Polyketides are a large group of bioactive secondary metabolites with various biological activities that arise from the diversity in its structures from the precursors of alternating groups like carbonyl and methylene. For this reason, they have a high value in pharmaceutical properties. They are primarily divided into three types: type I, type II and type III polyketides. This pathway focuses on the biosynthesis of type II polyketide products (from the biosynthesis of type II polyketide backbone) which are often based on aromatic molecules produced iteratively by the action of dissociated enzymes in the bacterial species Streptomyces glaucescens. This pathway shows the production of tetracenomycin C and 8-demethyl-tetracenomycin starting from 9,14-decaketides by the action of tcmI, tcmH, tcmN, tcmP, tcmG and tcmO gene proteins. Via a series of reactions using polyketide-synthase, hydroxylase and other enzymes shown in this illustration, the formation of tetracenomycin C occurs. It must be noted that 8-demethyl-tetracenomycin is a derivative of tetracenomycin-C (both shown to be stemming from tetracenomycin-B3) and acts as a teracenomycin having the similar bacterial metabolite role as tetracenomycin-C.

Biosynthesis of Unsaturated Fatty Acids

Saccharomyces cerevisiae
The biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids begins with palmitic acid interacting with ATP and Coenzyme A through an acyl-CoA synthetase resulting in the release of AMP, diphosphate and palmitoyl-CoA. This compound then enters the cycle of unsaturated fatty acid elongation This cycle starts with the acyl-CoA reacting with a hydrogen ion and a malonyl-CoA through a 3-oxo-stearoyl-CoA synthase resulting in the release of a coenzyme A, a carbon dioxide molecule and a 3-oxoacyl-CoA. The 3-oxoacyl-CoA then reacts with a hydrogen ion and an NADPH through a 3-oxoacyl-CoA reductase resulting in the release of an NADP and a (3R)-3-hydroxy-acyl-CoA. The resulting compound then reacts with a trans-2-enoyl-CoA hydratase 2 resulting in the release of water and trans-2,3-dehydroacyl-CoA. This compound then reacts with a hydrogen ion and an NADPH through an enoyl-CoA reductase resulting in the release of a NADP and a new acyl-CoA. The cycle goes from palmitoyl-CoA-->stearoyl-CoA-->eicosanoyl-CoA-->docosanoyl-CoA-->tetracosanoyl-CoA-->hexacosanoyl-CoA. The long-chain fatty acids are then incorporated into the sphingolipid pathway. The long-chain fatty acid reacts with a phytosphingosine through a ceramide synthase resulting in the release of a hydrogen ion, a coenzyme A, and an N-acyl-phytosphinganine.
