Eremophilanes exhibit diverse biological activities and chemical structures. This study reports the bioinformatics-guided reconstitution of the biosynthetic machinery of fungal eremophilanes, eremofortin C and sporogen-AO1, to elucidate their biosynthetic pathways. Their biosyntheses include P450-catalyzed multistep oxidation and enzyme-catalyzed isomerization by the DUF3237 family protein. Successful characterization of six P450s enabled us to discuss the functions of eremophilane P450s in putative eremophilane biosynthetic gene clusters, providing opportunities to understand the oxidative modification pathways of fungal eremophilanes.

Lanthipeptides are a class of cyclic peptides characterized by the presence of one or more lanthionine (Lan) or methyllanthionine (MeLan) thioether rings. These cross-links are produced by α,β-unsaturation of Ser or Thr residues in peptide substrates by dehydration, followed by a Michael-type conjugate addition of Cys residues onto the dehydroamino acids. Lanthipeptides may be broadly classified into at least five different classes, and the biosynthesis of classes I-IV lanthipeptides requires catalysis by LanC cyclases that control both the site-specificity and the stereochemistry of the conjugate addition.

Current strategies for generating peptides and proteins bearing amide carbonyl derivatives rely on solid-phase peptide synthesis for amide functionalization. Although such strategies have been successfully implemented, technical limitations restrict both the length and sequence of the synthetic fragments. Herein we report the repurposing of a thiazole/oxazole-modified microcin (TOMM) cyclodehydratase to site-specifically install amide backbone labels onto diverse peptide substrates, a method we refer to as azoline-mediated peptide backbone labeling (AMPL).
