Abstract
In vitro reconstitution of a newly discovered isonitrile synthase (AmbI1 and AmbI2) and the detection of an elusive intermediate (S)-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-isocyanopropanoic acid 1 in indolyl vinyl isocyanide biogenesis are reported. The characterization of iron/2-oxoglutarate (Fe/2OG) dependent desaturases IsnB and AmbI3 sheds light on the possible mechanism underlying stereoselective alkene installation to complete the biosynthesis of (E)- and (Z)-3-(2-isocyanovinyl)-1H-indole 2 and 5. Establishment of a tractable isonitrile synthase system (AmbI1 and AmbI2) paves the way to elucidate the enigmatic enzyme mechanism for isocyanide formation.Entities:
