Leinamycin (LNM) is biosynthesized by a hybrid nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS)-acyltransferase (AT)-less type I polyketide synthase (PKS). Characterization of LnmI revealed ketosynthase (KS)-acyl carrier protein (ACP)-KS domains at the NRPS-PKS interface. Inactivation of the KS domain or ACP domain in vivo abolished LNM production, and the ACP domain can be phosphopantetheinylated in vitro. The LnmI KS-ACP-KS architecture represents a new mechanism for functional crosstalk between NRPS and AT-less type I PKS in the biosynthesis of hybrid peptide-polyketide natural products.
