Global genome mining-driven discovery of an unusual biosynthetic logic for fungal polyketide–terpenoid hybrids
1 Jan 2024
Abstract excerpt
a distinct biosynthetic mechanism from those adopted by known pathways. Characterization of one of the BGCs revealed that it yields the drimane-phthalide hybrid 1. During the biosynthesis of 1, the farnesyl group is unusually introduced by the dimethylallyltryptophan synthase-type prenyltransferase MfmD and is then cyclized by the Pyr4-family terpene cyclase MfmH. The replacement of MfmH with its homologue OcdTC...
