Sequences of the oxytetracycline polyketide synthase-encoding otc genes from Streptomyces rimosus

Gene. 1994 Apr 8;141(1):141-2. doi: 10.1016/0378-1119(94)90144-9.

Abstract

The complete nucleotide sequences of the Streptomyces rimosus oxytetracycline (oxyTc) polyketide synthase (PKS)-encoding genes (otcY) has been determined, revealing three open reading frames. The deduced amino-acid sequences correspond to the presumed heterodimeric beta-ketoacyl synthase and acyl carrier protein found in other type-II (multicomponent) PKS systems that specify construction of acetate-derived polyketide antibiotics.
