Show abstract
Triacetic acid lactone (TAL) is a platform chemical biosynthesized primarily through decarboxylative Claisen condensation by type III polyketide synthase 2-pyrone synthase (2-PS). However, this reaction suffers from intrinsic energy inefficiency and feedback inhibition by and competition for malonyl-CoA. TAL production through non-decarboxylative Claisen condensation by polyketoacyl-CoA thiolase alleviates many of these disadvantages. We discovered five more thiolases with TAL production activity by exploring homologs of a previously reported polyketoacyl-CoA thiolase, BktB, from Cupriavidus necator. Among them, the BktB homolog from Burkholderia sp. RF2-non_BP3 has [~] 30 times higher in vitro and in vivo TAL production activity and led to [~]10 times higher TAL titer than 2-PS when expressed in Escherichia coli, achieving a titer of 2.8 g/L in fed-batch fermentations. This discovery of a novel polyketoacyl-CoA thiolase with superior TAL production activity paves the way for realization of total biomanufacturing of TAL.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
