Genome-based discovery of two previously unreported fungal bifunctional terpene synthases (BFTSs) from phytopathogenic fungi are reported: FoFS catalyzing the formation of fusoxypenes A-C (-) and (-)-astellatene () and AtAS capable of synthesizing preaspterpenacid I (). Interestingly, FoFS and AtAS catalyzed the formation of enantiomeric sesterterpenes with a 5-6-7-3-5 ring system. C22-oxidative modification of preaspterpenacid I by AtP450 was characterized as well. Plausible cyclization pathways of the fusoxypenes were illustrated by DFT calculations.
报道了两种以前未报道的植物病原真菌双功能萜烯合酶(BFTSs):FoFS 催化 fusoxypenes A-C (-) 和 (-)-astellatene () 的形成,AtAS 能够合成 preaspterpenacid I ()。有趣的是,FoFS 和 AtAS 催化形成具有 5-6-7-3-5 环系统的对映体倍半萜烯。还对 AtP450 对 preaspterpenacid I 的 C22-氧化修饰进行了表征。通过 DFT 计算说明了 fusoxypenes 的可能环化途径。
