Protein: Type III polyketide synthase A (PKS-A) (EC 2.3.1.-) (Hydroxyalkyl alpha-pyrone synthase PKS-A) (Protein LESS ADHESIVE POLLEN 6) (O23674)
Organism: Arabidopsis thaliana (Mouse-ear cress)
Function: Plant type III polyketide synthases (PKSs) that catalyzes the condensation of malonyl-CoA units with various CoA ester starter molecules to generate a diverse array of natural products including long-chain alkyl alpha-pyrones. Accepts up to C(20) chain-length fatty acyl CoAs as starter substrates, and carries out sequential condensations with malonyl-CoA to produce triketide and tetraketide alpha-pyrones, potential sporopollenin precursors. Favorite substrates for are midchain- and v-hydroxylated fatty acyl-CoAs (e.g. 12-hydroxyoctadecanoyl-CoA and 16-hydroxyhexadecanoyl-CoA). Required for pollen development and sporopollenin biosynthesis, the major constituent of exine in the outer pollen wall. In vitro, can use 4-coumaroyl-coenzyme A as substrate to produce bis-noryangonin and fatty acyl-coenzyme A as substrate to produce medium-chain alkyl pyrones. May play a role in both the synthesis of pollen fatty acids and phenolics found in exine.
