Analysis of the cercosporin polyketide synthase CTB1 reveals a new fungal thioesterase function.

ABSTRACT: The polyketide synthase CTB1 is demonstrated to catalyze pyrone formation thereby expanding the known biosynthetic repertoire of thioesterase domains in iterative, non-reducing polyketide synthases.
