Genome mining uncovered a terpene synthase from Streptomyces subrutilus that produces the first known hexacyclic sesterterpene with no double bonds as the main product, as well as eight pentacyclic products. Isotopic labelling experiments and DFT calculations revealed a cyclisation cascade via several well-stabilised secondary cations. The enzyme also converted several substrate analogues into sesterterpenoid

Little is known of the biosynthesis of sesquarterpenes and the synthesis of unnatural terpenoids by sesquarterpene biosynthetic enzymes has not yet been reported. In this study, the enzymatic cyclization of head-to-tail acyclic triterpene beta-hexaprene a natural product isolated from Bacillus clausii-using tetraprenyl-beta-curcumene cyclase (TC) from Bacillus subtilis resulted in the formation of two unnatural pentacyclic triterpenes. It was revealed that B. subtilis TC, which forms tetracyclic terpenoid scaffold from tetraprenyl-beta-curcumene in vivo, could be used to construct the 6/6/6/6/6-fused pentacyclic scaffold in vitro, suggesting that the active site cavity of TC has sufficient space to accommodate this unnatural pentacyclic scaffold. This is the first report demonstrating the utility of a sesquarterpene cyclase toward the synthesis of unnatural terpenoids. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
