The anditomin pathway actually does not employ a Diels-Alder reaction, but involves the nonheme iron-dependent dioxygenase AndA to synthesize the bridged-ring by an unprecedented skeletal reconstruction.

Molecular Basis for the Biosynthesis of an Unusual Chain-Fused Polyketide Gregatin A.

The biosynthetic route leading to 1 is established, and it is illuminated that 1 is generated by the fusion of two different polyketide chains, which are synthesized by a single PKS GrgA with the aid of a trans-acting enoylreductase GrgB.

Uncovering the unusual D-ring construction in terretonin biosynthesis by collaboration of a multifunctional cytochrome P450 and a unique isomerase.

The characterization of three enzymes that convert 6 into 1, as well as the complete biosynthetic pathway of 1 are reported, which involves the D-ring expansion and unusual rearrangement of the methoxy group to afford the core skeleton of 1.

Reconstitution of biosynthetic machinery for the synthesis of the highly elaborated indole diterpene penitrem.

It was demonstrated that the Aspergillus oryzae reconstitution system is a powerful method for studying the biosynthesis of complex natural products.

Molecular and Computational Bases for Spirofuranone Formation in Setosusin Biosynthesis.

The results indicated that SetF, the cytochrome P450 enzyme that is critical for spirofuranone synthesis, not only performs the epoxidation of the polyketide portion of the substrate but also facilitates the protonation-initiated structural rearrangement to yield 1.

Novofumigatonin biosynthesis involves a non-heme iron-dependent endoperoxide isomerase for orthoester formation

The elucidation of the biosynthetic pathway of novofumigatonin is elucidated and it is shown that the endoperoxidase NvfI and theendoperoxide isomerase N vfE are involved in it.

Molecular basis for the unusual ring reconstruction in fungal meroterpenoid biogenesis.

Structural comparison of Trt14 and its homologs suggests that the enzymes in this new superfamily employ similar acid-base chemistry to diversify the molecular architecture of fungal meroterpenoids.

Early Steps of the Biosynthesis of the Anticancer Antibiotic Pleurotin

This work sequenced the genome of the pleurotin-producing fungus and used comparative transcriptomics to identify putative genes involved in pleurotin biosynthesis, resulting in the isolation and characterisation of the first predicted pleurotin biosynthetic intermediate, 3-farnesyl-4-hydroxybenzoic acid.

Structure-based engineering of α-ketoglutarate dependent oxygenases in fungal meroterpenoid biosynthesis.

This review summarizes recent progress in the structure-based engineering of αKG OX enzymes, involved in the biosynthesis of polyketide-derived fungal meroterpenoids, and the literature published from 2016 through February 2022 is reviewed.

Discovery of Key Dioxygenases that Diverged the Paraherquonin and Acetoxydehydroaustin Pathways in Penicillium brasilianum.

The biosynthetic gene cluster of 1 (the prh cluster) is identified and the pathway up to berkeleydione (2) is elucidated, which serves as the key intermediate for the biosynthesis of 1 as well as many other meroterpenoids.

Spiro-ring formation is catalyzed by a multifunctional dioxygenase in austinol biosynthesis.

Austinol, a fungal meroterpenoid derived from 3,5-dimethylorsellinic acid, has a unique chemical structure with a remarkable spiro-lactone ring system that is catalyzed by a non-heme iron-dependent dioxygenase, AusE, along with two flavin monooxygenases, the 5'-hydroxylase AusB and the Baeyer-Villiger monooxyGENase AusC.

Terretonin Biosynthesis Requires Methylation as Essential Step for Cyclization

The cyclization reaction in fungal meroterpenoid biosynthesis is one of the key steps that generate the structural diversity of this class of compounds, exemplified by terretonin, austinol, andrastin A and anditomin.

Terpenoid synthase structures: a so far incomplete view of complex catalysis.

The complexity of terpenoid natural products has drawn significant interest, and while this has certainly led to some insights into the enzymatic structure-function relationships underlying the elongation and simpler cyclization reactions, the understanding of the more complex cyclization and/or rearrangement reactions remains limited.

Reconstitution of biosynthetic machinery for indole-diterpene paxilline in Aspergillus oryzae.

The highly intriguing stepwide epoxidation/cyclization mechanism for the construction of core structure has been confirmed and "tandem transformation" to simultaneously introduce two genes using a single vector may provide further option for the reconstitution strategy to synthesize more complex fungal metabolites.

Biosynthesis of the meroterpenoid metabolite, andilesin A, by Aspergillus variecolor: origins of the oxygen atoms

The origins of all the oxygen atoms in andilesin A (1) have been determined by labelling studies with [1-13C, 18O2]acetate, 18O2, and ethyl 3,5-dimethylorsellinate doubly-labelled with 13C and 18O at…

A cytochrome P450 serves as an unexpected terpene cyclase during fungal meroterpenoid biosynthesis.

VrtK is the first example of a P450 that can catalyze terpene cyclization, most likely via initial oxidation of C17 to an allylic carbocation, and a possible new tertiary carbocation intermediate E that forms after allylic Carbocation formation.

Two separate gene clusters encode the biosynthetic pathway for the meroterpenoids austinol and dehydroaustinol in Aspergillus nidulans.

Chemical analysis of mutant extracts enabled us to isolate 3,5-dimethylorsellinic acid and 10 additional meroterpenoids that are either intermediates or shunt products from the biosynthetic pathway, and allow us to propose a complete biosynthesis pathway for the A. nidulans meroter penoids.
