Stereoselective synthesis of decalin structures using [4 + 2] cycloaddition is challenging. We explored the biosynthetic pathway of the fungal natural product fischerin () to identify a new pericyclase FinI that can catalyze such a reaction. The cocrystal structure of FinI, a predicted methyltransferase, with the product and SAM provides insight into decalin formation in nature.
使用[4 + 2]环加成反应进行十氢萘结构的立体选择性合成具有挑战性。我们探索了真菌天然产物 Fischerin()的生物合成途径,以鉴定能够催化此类反应的新过氧化物酶 FinI。FinI 的晶体结构(一种预测的甲基转移酶)与产物和 SAM 的共晶结构提供了对自然界中十氢萘形成的深入了解。
