Regioselectivity switches between anthraquinone precursor fissions involved in bioactive xanthone biosynthesis.

Xanthone-based polyketides with complex molecular frameworks and potent bioactivities distribute and function in different biological kingdoms, yet their biosynthesis remains under-investigated. In particular, nothing is known regarding how to switch between the C-C (C-selective) and C-C bond (C-selective) cleavages of anthraquinone intermediates involved in biosynthesizing strikingly different frameworks of xanthones and their siblings. Enabled by our characterization of antiosteoporotic brunneoxanthones, a subfamily of polyketides from FB-2, we present herein the brunneoxanthone biosynthetic gene cluster and the C-selective cleavage of anthraquinone (chrysophanol) hydroquinone leading ultimately to the bioactive brunneoxanthones under the catalysis of BruN (an undescribed atypical non-heme iron dioxygenase) in collaboration with BruM as a new oxidoreductase that reduces the anthraquinone into its hydroquinone using NADPH as a cofactor.
