Enzyme Information

2.3.1.161
Lovastatin nonaketide synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q9Y7D0
9 malonyl-CoA + 11 NADPH + S-adenosyl-L-methionine + holo-[lovastatin nonaketide synthase] = dihydromonacolin L-[lovastatin nonaketide synthase] + 9 CoA + 9 CO(2) + 11 NADP(+) + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 6 H(2)O.
-!- This fungal enzyme system comprises a multi-functional polyketide synthase (PKS) and an enoyl reductase. -!- The PKS catalyzes many of the chain building reactions of EC 2.3.1.85, as well as a reductive methylation and a Diels-Alder reaction, while the reductase is responsible for three enoyl reductions that are necessary for dihydromonacolin L acid production.
