The borrelidin polyketide synthase (PKS) begins with a carboxylated substrate and, unlike typical decarboxylative loading PKSs, retains the carboxy group in the final product. The specificity and tolerance of incorporation of carboxyacyl substrate into type I PKSs have not been explored. Here, we show that the first extension module is promiscuous in its ability to extend both carboxyacyl and non-carboxyacyl substrates. However, the loading module has a requirement for substrates containing a carboxy moiety, which are not decarboxylated in situ. Thus, the loading module is the basis for the observed specific incorporation of carboxylated starter units by the borelidin PKS.

Article Synopsis
- NAPE-PLD is an enzyme that hydrolyzes modified phosphatidylethanolamines (PE) with long acyl chains and also acts on non-enzymatically modified NALPEs formed during lipid peroxidation.
- Research identified various NALPE types produced from reactions with lipid aldehydes, including those derived from arachidonic and linoleic acid.
- NAPE-PLD can hydrolyze NALPEs at rates comparable to traditional NAPE substrates, indicating its broader role in managing lipid peroxidation products beyond its known function in creating acyl-ethanolamines.

Aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) represent a superfamily of enzymes, which oxidize aldehydes to the corresponding acids. Certain families, namely ALDH9 and ALDH10, are best active with ω-aminoaldehydes arising from the metabolism of polyamines such as 3-aminopropionaldehyde and 4-aminobutyraldehyde. Plant ALDH10s show broad specificity and accept many different aldehydes (aliphatic, aromatic and heterocyclic) as substrates.

Modular polyketide synthases (PKSs) are polymerases that employ α-carboxyacyl-CoAs as extender substrates. This enzyme family contains several catalytic modules, where each module is responsible for a single round of polyketide chain extension. Although PKS modules typically use malonyl-CoA or methylmalonyl-CoA for chain elongation, many other malonyl-CoA analogues are used to diversify polyketide structures in nature.

The first domain of modular polyketide synthases (PKSs) is most commonly a ketosynthase (KS)-like enzyme, KS, that primes polyketide synthesis. Unlike downstream KSs that fuse α-carboxyacyl groups to growing polyketide chains, it performs an extension-decoupled decarboxylation of these groups to generate primer units. When Pik127, a model triketide synthase constructed from modules of the pikromycin synthase, was studied by cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM), the dimeric didomain comprised of KS and the neighboring methylmalonyl-selective acyltransferase (AT) dominated the class averages and yielded structures at 2.

A novel acyl-CoA dehydrogenase involved in degradation of the auxin indoleacetate by Aromatoleum aromaticum was identified as a decarboxylating benzylmalonyl-CoA dehydrogenase (IaaF). It is encoded within the iaa operon coding for enzymes of indoleacetate catabolism. Using enzymatically produced benzylmalonyl-CoA, the reaction was characterized as simultaneous oxidation and decarboxylation of benzylmalonyl-CoA to cinnamoyl-CoA and CO.
