Abstract

Biosynthesis of the flavonoid naringenin in plants and bacteria is commonly catalysed by a type III polyketide synthase (PKS) using one p-coumaroyl-CoA and three malonyl-CoA molecules as substrates. Here, we report a fungal non-ribosomal peptide synthetase -polyketide synthase (NRPS-PKS) hybrid FnsA for the naringenin formation. Feeding experiments with isotope-labelled precursors demonstrate that FnsA accepts not only p-coumaric acid (p-CA), but also p-hydroxybenzoic acid (p-HBA) as starter units, with three or four malonyl-CoA molecules for elongation, respectively. In vitro assays and MS/MS analysis prove that both p-CA and p-HBA are firstly activated by the adenylation domain of FnsA. Phylogenetic analysis reveals that the PKS portion of FnsA shares high sequence homology with type I PKSs. Refactoring the biosynthetic pathway in yeast with the involvement of fnsA provides an alternative approach for the production of flavonoids such as isorhamnetin and acacetin.
