AbmV Catalyzes Tandem Ether Installation and Hydroxylation during Neoabyssomicin/Abyssomicin Biosynthesis

Org Lett. 2018 Aug 17;20(16):4854-4857. doi: 10.1021/acs.orglett.8b01997. Epub 2018 Aug 2.

Abstract

Members of the abyssomicin class of natural products are characterized by a novel vinylic bridged ether ring. In this study, in vivo gene inactivation, structure elucidation of the accumulated intermediate abyssomicin 6, and in vitro enzyme assays enabled the identification of a cytochrome P450 enzyme, AbmV. AbmV carries out domino reactions involving bridged ether installation and C-11 hydroxylation during the biosynthesis of neoabyssomicins/abyssomicins in S. koyangensis SCSIO 5802.
