Increasing lysergic acid levels for ergot alkaloid biosynthesis: Directing catalysis via the F-G loop of Clavine oxidases
Most ergot alkaloid drugs are semi-synthetically derived from the natural product lysergic acid, a valuable precursor for the development of novel ergot alkaloid drugs. Clavine oxidase (CloA) is a putative cytochrome P450, identified in the ergot alkaloid biosynthesis pathway, and a key enzyme that...
