Architecture of a PKS-NRPS hybrid megaenzyme involved in the biosynthesis of the genotoxin colibactin

Résumé

The genotoxin colibactin produced by Escherichia coli is involved in the development of colorectal cancers. This secondary metabolite is synthesized by a multi-protein machinery, mainly composed of non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS)/polyketide synthase (PKS) enzymes. In order to decipher the function of a PKS-NRPS hybrid enzyme implicated in a key step of colibactin biosynthesis, we conducted an extensive structural characterization of the ClbK megaenzyme. Here we present the crystal structure of the complete trans-AT PKS module of ClbK showing structural specificities of hybrid enzymes. In addition, we report the SAXS solution structure of the full-length ClbK hybrid that reveals a dimeric organization as well as several catalytic chambers. These results provide a structural framework for the transfer of a colibactin precursor through a PKS-NRPS hybrid enzyme and can pave the way for re-engineering PKS-NRPS hybrid megaenzymes to generate diverse metabolites with many applications.
