项目摘要

Project Summary / Abstract Alkaloid biosynthetic studies C-H activation is one of the key strategies to introduce structural and functional diversities into natural products in both chemical synthesis and biosynthesis. Non-heme iron enzymes are one of the key classes of C-H activating enzymes. In this work, we will conduct mechanistic studies of several non-hydroxylation reactions catalyzed by non-heme iron enzymes, including endoperoxidation, epoxidation, dehydrogenation, and oxidative C-S bond formation. These functional groups are key to the biological activities of many natural products. In Aim 1, we focus on the distal type of -ketoglutarate dependent non-heme iron enzymes because this is a relatively unexplored class of enzymes. There are two mechanistic models in explaining the activities of these enzymes and we will examine them using carefully selected enzymes (FtmOx1, CnsJ, and PhyH) because these enzymes all have two completely different activities. In Aim 2, we will conduct mechanistic studies on non-heme iron enzymes in ergothioneine and ovothiol biosynthesis. There are two mechanistic models proposed based on theoretical calculations. In this aim, using unnatural amino acid containing enzymes, we will differentiate between the two models.

项目概要/摘要生物碱生物合成研究 C-H激活是将结构和功能多样性引入自然的关键策略之一非血红素铁酶是化学合成和生物合成的关键类别之一。在这项工作中，我们将对几种非羟基化酶进行机理研究。非血红素铁酶催化的反应，包括内过氧化、环氧化、脱氢、这些官能团是许多天然物质生物活性的关键。产品。在目标 1 中，我们重点关注 α-酮戊二酸依赖性非血红素铁酶的远端类型，因为这是一类相对未被探索的酶有两种机制模型可以解释其活性。我们将使用精心挑选的酶（FtmOx1、CnsJ 和 PhyH）来检查它们因为这些酶都有两种完全不同的活性，在目标2中，我们将研究机理。非血红素铁酶在麦角硫因和卵硫醇生物合成中的研究有两种机制。基于理论计算提出的模型为此目的，使用含有非天然氨基酸。酶，我们将区分这两种模型。
