Vacuolar type ATPases are homologs of the F-type ATP synthases and probably convert the free energy of hydrolysis of the high-energy phosphate bond into rotational motion [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ] . Vacuolar type H +-ATPases are critical for the maintenance of homeostasis in eukaryotic cells [ 10 11 ] .
This is also consistent with the presence of orthologs of the animal NO synthases in several bacteria [ 38 39 ] .
Polyketides are secondary metabolites (which give their producers a competitive advantage in their environment) produced mostly by bacteria and fungi and made by a complex and structurally diverse family of enzymes called polyketide synthases (see the primer by David Hopwood in this issue of PLoS Biology ). Among them are the anthracyclines, a group of anticancer drugs and antibacterials that includes tetracycline.
Taken together, these observations are sufficient to reject the proposed relationship between MJ0301 and dihydropteroate synthases.
They are synthesized by multifunctional enzymes called polyketide synthases (PKSs), which are related to the fatty acid synthases that make the lipids essential for the integrity of cell membranes, but they carry out much more complex biosynthetic routines.
