Proposed mechanism for the formation of alkaloids and polyketides by type III PKSs. Enzyme reaction products from malonyl-CoA and the following: N-methylanthraniloyl-CoA (A), 4-coumaroyl-CoA (B), benzoyl-CoA (C), and hexanoyl-CoA (D). C. microcarpa QNS produces 4-hydroxy-N-methylquinolone as the sole product from N-methylanthraniloyl-CoA and triketide lactones from benzoyl-CoA and hexanoyl-CoA, whereas C. microcarpa ACS produces all of the products.
