Abstract excerpt
PrhA from Penicillium brasilianum and AusE from Aspergillus nidulans are nonheme Fe(ii)/α-ketoglutarate-dependent oxygenases, which are involved in the fungal meroterpenoid biosynthetic pathways. Both enzymes use preaustinoid A1 as a common substrate to form divergent products through dynamic skeletal rearrangement. Importantly, structure-guided mutagenesis results in the successful interconversion of AusE and...
