Abstract
We reported the characterization of a novel brassicicene diterpene biosynthetic gene cluster,which con-tains a unique α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase(αKGD)enzyme,AbnI.Our findings revealed that AbnI demonstrates remarkable substrate promiscuity and is capable of activating multiple sites on both 5-8-5 and 5-9-5 brassicicene skeletons,resulting in skeleton modifications and an unexpected ring sys-tem rearrangement.These results suggested the potential utility of AbnI as an enzymatic tool for terpene C-H functionalization.In addition,the catalytic mechanism of AbnI and its potential ecological implica-tions were discussed.
