Background:Type III polyketide synthases (PKSs) synthesize various polyketide and alkaloid scaffolds. Results:QNS synthesizes quinolone as the single product, whereas ACS produces acridone as the major product. Conclusion:QNS and ACS are novel quinolone- and acridone-producing type III PKSs, respectively. Significance:Structure-function analyses of QNS and ACS provide insights into molecular bases for alkaloid biosyntheses.
