What is the function of this protein?
Polyketide synthase; part of the gene cluster that mediates the biosynthesis of cercosporin, a light-activated, non-host-selective toxin (PubMed:12937958, PubMed:15915645, PubMed:26938470, PubMed:29610486).  The perylenequinone chromophore of cercosporin absorbs light energy to attain an electronically-activated triplet state and produces active oxygen species such as the hydroxyl radical, superoxide, hydrogen peroxide or singlet oxygen upon reaction with oxygen molecules (PubMed:11701851).  These reactive oxygen species cause damage to various cellular components including lipids, proteins and nucleic acids (PubMed:11701851).  The first step of cercosporin biosynthesis is performed by the polyketide synthase CTB1 which catalyzes the formation of nor-toralactone (PubMed:23108075, PubMed:26938470, PubMed:29610486).  The starter unit acyltransferase (SAT) domain of CTB1 initiates polyketide extension by the selective utilization of acetyl-CoA, which is elongated to the heptaketide in the beta-ketoacyl synthase (KS) domain by successive condensations with six malonyl units introduced by the malonyl acyltransferase (MAT) domain.  The product template (PT) domain catalyzes C4-C9 and C2-C11 aldol cyclizations and dehydrations to a trihydroxynaphthalene, which is thought to be delivered to the thioesterase (TE) domain for product release (PubMed:23108075, PubMed:29610486).  The bifunctional enzyme CTB3 then methylates nor-toralactone to toralactone before conducting an unusual oxidative aromatic ring opening (PubMed:17074519, PubMed:26938470).  The O-methyltransferase CTB2 further methylates the nascent OH-6 of the CBT3 product, blocking further oxidation at this site before the reductase CTB6 reduces the 2-oxopropyl ketone at position C7, giving naphthalene (PubMed:17660442, PubMed:26938470).  The FAD-dependent monooxygenase CTB5 in concert with the multicopper oxidase CTB12 are responsible for homodimerization of naphthalene with CTB7 installing the dioxepine moiety, finally producing cercosporin (PubMed:17660442, PubMed:30809363, PubMed:26938470).  The fasciclin domain-containing protein CTB11 might act with CTB5 and CTB12 whereas the roles of CTB9 and CTB10 have still to be elucidated (By similarity).
