ABSTRACT Chemobiosynthesis (J. R. Jacobsen, C. R. Hutchinson, D. E. Cane, and C. Khosla, Science 277:367-369, 1997) is an important route for the production of polyketide analogues and has been used extensively for the production of analogues of 6-deoxyerythronolide B (6-dEB). Here we describe a new route for chemobiosynthesis using a version of 6-deoxyerythronolide B synthase (DEBS) that lacks the loading module. When the engineered DEBS was expressed in both Escherichia coli and Streptomyces coelicolor and fed a variety of acyl-thioesters, several novel 15-R-6-dEB analogues were produced. The simpler “monoketide” acyl-thioester substrates required for this route of 15-R-6-dEB chemobiosynthesis allow greater flexibility and provide a cost-effective alternative to diketide-thioester feeding to DEBS KS1o for the production of 15-R-6-dEB analogues. Moreover, the facile synthesis of the monoketide acyl-thioesters allowed investigation of alternative thioester carriers. Several alternatives to N-acetyl cysteamine were found to work efficiently, and one of these, methyl thioglycolate, was verified as a productive thioester carrier for mono- and diketide feeding in both E. coli and S. coelicolor.
