Abstract
Genome mining of one of the protective symbionts (Burkholderia gladioli) of the invasive beetle Lagria villosa revealed a cryptic gene cluster that codes for the biosynthesis of a novel antifungal polyketide with a glutarimide pharmacophore. Targeted gene inactivation, metabolic profiling, and bioassays led to the discovery of the gladiofungins as previously-overlooked components of the antimicrobial armory of the beetle symbiont, which are highly active against the entomopathogenic fungus Purpureocillium lilacinum. By mutational analyses, isotope labeling, and computational analyses of the modular polyketide synthase, we found that the rare butenolide moiety of gladiofungins derives from an unprecedented polyketide chain termination reaction involving a glycerol-derived C3 building block. The key role of an A-factor synthase (AfsA)-like offloading domain was corroborated by CRISPR-Cas-mediated gene editing, which facilitated precise excision within a PKS domain.

Abstract
Ketosynthase (KS) domains of modular type I polyketide synthases (PKSs) typically catalyze the Claisen condensation of acyl and malonyl units to form linear chains. In stark contrast, the KS of the rhizoxin PKS branching module mediates a Michael addition, which sets the basis for a pharmacophoric δ-lactone moiety. The precise role of the KS was evaluated by site-directed mutagenesis, chemical probes, and biotransformations. Biochemical and kinetic analyses helped to dissect branching and lactonization reactions and unequivocally assign the entire sequence to the KS. Probing the range of accepted substrates with diverse synthetic surrogates in vitro, we found that the KS tolerates defined acyl chain lengths to produce five- to seven-membered lactones. These results show that the KS is multifunctional, as it catalyzes β-branching and lactonization. Information on the increased product portfolio of the unusual, TE-independent on-line cyclization is relevant for synthetic biology approaches.
