| description | Fungal bicyclo[2.2.2]diazaoctane indole alkaloids represent an important family of natural products with a wide spectrum of biological activities. Although biomimetic total syntheses of representative compounds have been reported, the details of their biogenesis, especially the mechanisms for the assembly of diastereomerically distinct and enantiomerically antipodal metabolites, have remained largely uncharacterized. Brevianamide A represents a basic form of the subfamily bearing a dioxopiperazine core and a rare 3-spiro-ψ-indoxyl skeleton. In this study, we have identified the brevianamide A biosynthetic gene cluster from Penicillium brevicompactum NRRL 864 and elucidated the metabolic pathway. BvnE was revealed to be an essential isomerase/semipinacolase that specifies the selective production of the natural product. Structural elucidation, molecular modelling and mutational analysis of BvnE as well as quantum chemical calculations have provided mechanistic insights into the diastereoselective formation of the 3-spiro-ψ-indoxyl moiety in brevianamide A. This occurs through a BvnE-controlled semipinacol rearrangement and a subsequent spontaneous intramolecular [4+2] hetero-Diels–Alder cycloaddition. |
