Pseurotins comprise a family of structurally related Aspergillal natural products having interesting bioactivity. However, little is known about the biosynthetic steps involved in the formation of their complex chemical features. Systematic deletion of the pseurotin biosynthetic genes in A. fumigatus and invivo and invitro characterization of the tailoring enzymes to determine the biosynthetic intermediates, and the gene products responsible for the formation of each intermediate, are described. Thus, the main biosynthetic steps leading to the formation of pseurotinA from the predominant precursor, azaspirene, were elucidated. The study revealed the combinatorial nature of the biosynthesis of the pseurotin family of compounds and the intermediates. Most interestingly, we report the first identification of an epoxidase C-methyltransferase bifunctional fusion protein PsoF which appears to methylate the nascent polyketide backbone carbon atom in trans. A maze: Pseurotins are a family of structurally related bioactive natural products from Aspergilli. Through genetic and biochemical studies, the biosynthetic pathway for the formation of azaspirene, synerazol, and pseurotin A/D have been elucidated, and reveal the combinatorial nature of their biosyntheses. PsoF was identified as bifunctional epoxidase methyltransferase enzyme, thus providing the first example of a trans-acting polyketide C-methyltransferase.
