Atypical Condensation Domains Guide Discovery and Illuminate Biosynthesis of Myxoglucamides Featuring Vinyl‐Substituted, α‐Oxidized γ‐Amino Acids

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Genome mining of atypical condensation (C) domains leads to the discovery of myxoglucamides, glycolipopeptides featuring an unprecedented vinyl‐substituted, α‐oxidized γ‐amino acid. Biosynthetic studies reveal a discrete C‐domain‐like O‐acyltransferase, a β‐hydroxylation‐dependent chain‐extension checkpoint, and an unusual pathway for γ‐amino acid ...

Biosynthesis of the Fully Saturated C16 Homosesquiterpene Descartane Through Deprotonation With Cyclopropanation

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
A non‐canonical C16 sesquiterpene synthase from Morganella morganii produces the unusual scaffold descartane. Its cyclisation mechanism was rationalised by isotopic labelling experiments and DFT calculations. Site‐directed mutagenesis altered enzyme function, resulting in alternative products, including voltairene, which requires a different ...
