Studies on daunorubicin and actinorhodin type II polyketide synthase, PhD thesis

Daunorubicin (DNR) and its C-14 hydroxlated derivative doxorubicin (DOX) are important anticancer chemotherapy drugs used for the treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia and breast cancer. Although the structural, regulatory and resistance genes of the DNR/DOX biosynthetic clusters have been identified, their functions characterized and a general scheme for the biosynthetic pathway has been proposed, little is known about the structural organization of these enzymes within the PKS and how this affects catalysis.
