Abstract
The biosynthetic gene cluster for the sesterterpenoids asperterpenols A and B from Aspergillus calidoustus CBS121601 is described. The cluster contains two genes, acldAS for a chimeric sesterterpene synthase and acldA-P450 for a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase. The cyclization mechanism of the asperterpenol A synthase, catalyzing the formation of a unique sesterterpene with a 6/6/8/5 tetracyclic ring system, was studied using isotopically labeled terpene precursors.Entities:
