ID   6.4.1.11
DE   polyporic acid synthase.
CA   2 3-phenylpyruvate + 2 ATP = polyporic acid + 2 AMP + 2 diphosphate +
CA   H(+).
CC   -!- Requires Mg(2+).
CC   -!- The enzyme, found in mushrooms of the Basidiomycota and Ascomycota
CC       phyla, is a non-ribosomal peptide synthase-like enzyme comprising
CC       three domains - an adelylation (A) domain, an ayl-carrier protein
CC       (ACP) domain, and a thioesterase (TE) domain.
CC   -!- The enzyme activates 3-phenyl-2-oxopropanoate by adenylation and
CC       catalyzes the dimerization/cyclization of two such molecules to form
CC       polyporic acid.
CC   -!- Polyporic acid is a precursor for assorted metabolites produced by
CC       the fungi, such as the corticins.
