Conversion of a beta-ketoacyl synthase to a malonyl decarboxylase by replacement of the active-site cysteine with glutamine.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the role of the Cys --> Gln beta-ketoacyl synthases found in the loading domains of some modular polyketide synthases likely is to act as malonyl, or methylmalonyL, decarboxylases that provide a source of primer for the chain extension reactions catalyzed by associated modules containing fully competent beta- ketoacyL synthases.
