Genome mining and heterologous reconstitution of biosynthetic genes in Aspergillus oryzae enabled elucidation the hitherto elusive route that produces allantofuranone (1), a bioactive natural product originally isolated from Allantophomopsis lycopodina. The core non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS)-like enzyme AlfA alf BGC polyporic acid (2) phenylpyruvic acid. In subsequent reactions, compound 2 is reductively dehydrated by bifunctional AlfC methylated AlfD to produce terferol (6). final step, quinol moiety 6 oxidatively cleaved contracted aromatic ring cleavage dioxygenase AlfB. Using combinatorial biosynthesis, we were able manipulate yield hydroxylated pathway congeners, most notably new products deoxyascocorynin (10), hydroxyterferol (11), hydroxyallantofuranone (12).
