Abstract
Presilphiperfolan-8β-ol synthase (BcBOT2), a substrate-promiscuous sesquiterpene cyclase (STC) of fungal origin, is capable of converting two new farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) derivatives modified at C7 of farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) bearing either a hydroxymethyl group or a methoxymethyl group. These substrates were chosen based on a computationally generated model. Biotransformations yielded five new oxygenated terpenoids. Remarkably, the formation of one of these tricyclic products can only be explained by a cationically induced migration of the methoxy group, presumably via a Meerwein-salt intermediate, unprecedented in synthetic chemistry and biosynthesis. The results show the great principle and general potential of terpene cyclases for mechanistic studies of unusual cation chemistry and for the creation of new terpene skeletons.
