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

Authors: Newman, Adam G; Vagstad, Anna L; Belecki, Katherine; Scheerer, Jonathan R; Townsend, Craig A

Published In Chem Commun (Camb), (2012 Dec 14)

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.
