Abstract
The class II diterpene cyclase (DTC) from pleuromutilin biosynthesis uniquely mediates 'A' ring contraction of the initially formed decalin bicycle, yielding mutildienyl diphosphate (MPP). Catalysis requires a divalent metal cation co-factor. Intriguingly, selectively with magnesium, this DTC catalyzes ring expansion/contraction between MPP and halimadienyl diphosphate, providing some catalytic insight.Entities:
