Longestin (KS‐505a), a specific inhibitor of phosphodiesterase, is a meroterpenoid that consists of a unique octacyclic terpene skeleton with branched methyl groups at unusual positions (C1 and C12). Biochemical analysis of Lon23, a methyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of longestin, demonstrated that it methylates homoisopentenyl diphosphate (homo‐IPP) to afford (3Z)‐3‐methyl IPP. This compound
Longestin(KS‐505a)是磷酸二酯酶的特异性抑制剂,是一种类萜,由独特的八环萜烯骨架组成,在异常位置(C1和C12)带有分支甲基。Lon23(一种参与Longestin生物合成的甲基转移酶)的生化分析表明,它可以将均异戊烯基二磷酸(homo-IPP)甲基化以提供(3 Z)-3-甲基IPP。该化合物与IPP一起被Lon22(香叶基香叶基香叶基二磷酸(GGPP)合酶同系物)选择性地接受为扩展单元,从而生成二甲基化GGPP(dmGGPP)。dmGGPP的绝对配置确定为(4 R,12 R)降解和手性GC分析。这些发现使我们能够为不寻常的同萜类长汀的生物合成途径的关键步骤提出酶促序列。
