LynF prenylates, but the prenyl migrates: Schmidt and co-workers have demonstrated that LynF from Lyngbya aestuarii is a reverse O-prenyl transferase. However, a forward C-prenylated product is obtained through a non-enzymatic Claisen rearrangement. The elucidation of this unprecedented two-step process is a significant contribution to our understanding of the biosynthesis of complex macrocyclic peptides.
LynF 进行 prenyl 化,但 prenyl 发生迁移:Schmidt 及其同事已经证明,来自 Lyngbya aestuarii 的 LynF 是一种反向 O-prenyl 转移酶。然而,通过非酶促的 Claisen 重排得到了正向 C-prenylated 产物。对这一前所未有的两步过程的阐明,是对我们理解复杂大环肽生物合成的重大贡献。
