The product profiles of mppF, mppA, and mppC mutants substantiate that MppA-mediated omega-2 ketoreduction is a prerequisite for the synthesis of the pyranoquinone bicyclic core of the Monascus azaphilone pigment and that MppC activity determines the regioselectivity of the spontaneous Knoevenagel condensation.
