Claims
- 1. An isolated recombinant DNA compound that comprises a coding sequence for a domain of a loading module or any one of extender modules one through four, inclusive of an oleandolide polyketide synthase (PKS).
- 2. The isolated recombinant DNA compound of claim 1, wherein said domain is selected from the group consisting of a thioesterase domain, a KSQ domain, an AT domain, a KS domain, an ACP domain, a KR domain, a DH domain and an ER domain.
- 3. The isolated recombinant DNA compound of claim 2 that comprises the coding sequence for a loading module and extender modules one and two of the oleandolide PKS.
- 4. The isolated recombinant DNA compound of claim 2 that comprises the coding sequence for the loading module and all six extender modules.
- 5. An isolated recombinant DNA compound that comprises a coding sequence for a domain of a loading module or any one of extender modules one through six, inclusive of an oleandolide polyketide synthase (PKS) operably linked to a promoter.
- 6. The isolated recombinant DNA compound of claim 5, wherein said coding sequence encodes a loading module or any one of extender modules one through four, inclusive, of oleandolide PKS.
- 7. The isolated recombinant DNA compound of claim 5 that is a recombinant DNA expression vector that further comprises an origin of replication or a segment of DNA that enables chromosomal integration.
- 8. The recombinant DNA expression vector of claim 7 that codes for expression of a PKS in Streptomyces host cells.
- 9. A recombinant host cell selected from the group consisting of Streptomyces host cells and Saccharopolyspora host cells that comprises a recombinant DNA expression vector of claim 7.
- 10. The recombinant DNA expression vector of claim 7 that encodes a hybrid PKS comprising at least a portion of an oleandolide PKS gene and at least a portion of a second PKS gene for a macrolide aglycone other than oleandolide.
- 11. The recombinant DNA compound of claim 10, wherein said second PKS gene is a DEBS gene.
- 12. The recombinant DNA compound of claim 11, wherein said hybrid PKS comprises a loading module and any one of extender modules one through four, inclusive, of oleandolide PKS and an extender module of DEBS.
- 13. The recombinant DNA compound of claim 10, wherein said hybrid PKS comprises a loading module and any one of extender modules one through four, inclusive, of oleandolide PKS and an extender module of narbonolide PKS.
- 14. A recombinant host cell, which in its untransformed state does not produce oleandolide, that comprises a recombinant DNA expression vector of claim 11 and said cell produces a macrolide aglycone synthesized by said hybrid PKS.
- 15. The recombinant host cell of claim 14 that is Streptomyces lividans.
- 16. The recombinant host cell of claim 14 that is Saccharopolyspora erythraea.
- 17. The recombinant host cell of claim 13, wherein said oleandolide PKS has a non-functional KS domain in extender module one.
- 18. The recombinant host cell of claim 17 that is Streptomyces coelicolor or Streptomyces lividans.
- 19. The recombinant host cell of claim 17 that is Saccharopolyspora erythraea.
- 20. A method for producing a polyketide in a cell, which method comprises transforming the cell with a recombinant expression vector that encodes at least a portion of an oleAI, oleAII, or oleAIII gene.
