Abstract
Fungal alkylresorcinols are a class of polyketides,which are commonly synthesized by the hybridization of highly reducing polyketide synthase(hrPKS)with non-reducing polyketide synthase(nrPKS).In this study,we identified and demonstrated a new assembly model for synthesizing alkylresorcinol(scirpilin A,1),which was accomplished by collaboration of a hrPKS(FscA)and a type Ⅲ PKS(FscB).Furthermore,three post-tailoring enzymes(FscC,FscD,and FscE)act iteratively on 1 skeleton,including successive 14e-oxidation of inert carbons,di-halogenation,and di-methylation,to form highly oxidized and multi-substituted alkylresorcinols.Our work presents an unusual synthesis manner of alkylresorcinols,sheds light on the collaborative mechanism between hrPKS and type Ⅲ PKS and provides three valuable enzy-matic catalysts for the tailoring of alkylresorcinol family natural products in future.
