Polyketide natural products such as erythromycin and rapamycin ore assembled on polyketide synthases (PKSs), which consist of modular sets of catalytic activities distributed across multiple protein subunits. Correct protein-protein interactions among the PKS subunits which ore critical to the fidelity of biosynthesis are mediated in port by docking domains at the termini of the proteins. The NMR solution structure of a representative docking domain complex from the erythromycin PKS (DEBS) was recently solved, and on this basis it has been proposed that PKS docking is mediated by the formation of an intermolecular four-a-helix bundle. Herein, we report the genetic engineering of such a docking domain complex by replacement of specific helical segments and analysis of triketide synthesis by mutant PKSs in vivo. The results of these helix swaps are fully consistent with the model and highlight residues in the docking domains that may be targeted to alter the efficiency or specificity of subunit-subunit docking in hybrid PKSs.
