Abstract

[Figure Presented] A narrow tunnel: Biochemical and structural analysis of the tautomycetin thioesterase (TE) has provided the first highresolution structure of a linear-chain-terminating TE in polyketide biosynthesis, showing the enzyme to be stereoselective with a constrained substrate chamber relative to macrolactone-forming thioesterases.
