    Abstract While exploring phytotoxic metabolites from phytopathogenic fungi in the 1970s, we became interested in biosynthetic enzymes that catalyze Diels-Alder reactions involving biosynthesis of several phytotoxins that we isolated. Target enzymes were successfully characterized, and this triggered the identification of various Diels-Alderases in a recent decade. Through our Diels-Alderase project in 1990s, we recognized a highly efficient expression system of various biosynthetic genes with Aspergillus oryzae as a host. With the development of tools such as genomic data and bioinformatics analysis to identify biosynthetic gene clusters for natural products, we developed a highly reliable methodology such as hot spot knock-in to elucidate the biosynthetic pathways of representative fungal metabolites including phytotoxic substances. This methodology allows total biosynthesis of natural products and genome mining using silent biosynthetic gene clusters to obtain novel bioactive metabolites. Further applications of this technology are discussed.

    Abstract Ascomycota and basidiomycota fungi are prolific sources of biologically active natural products. Recent genomic data and bioinformatic analysis indicate that fungi possess a large number of biosynthetic gene clusters for bioactive natural products but more than 90% are silent. Heterologous expression in the filamentous fungi as hosts is one of the powerful tools to expression of the silent gene clusters. This review introduces recent studies on the total biosynthesis of representative family members via common platform intermediates, genome mining of novel di- and sesterterpenoids including detailed cyclization pathway, and development of expression host for basidiomycota genes with efficient genome editing method. In addition, this review will discuss the several strategies, for the generation of structural diversity, which are found through these studies.

    Abstract Covering: 2013 to 2022In this review, we provide an overview elucidating the biosynthetic pathway and heterologous production of fungal indole diterpenes (IDTs). Based on the studies of six IDT biosynthesis, we extracted nature's strategy: (1) two-stage synthesis for the core scaffold and platform intermediates, and (2) late-stage modifications for installing an additional cyclic system on the indole ring. Herein, we describe reconstitution studies applying this strategy to the synthesis of highly elaborated IDTs. We also discuss its potential for future biosynthetic engineering.

    Abstract Talaromyces islandicus is a unique fungus that produces more than 20 numbers of anthraquinones (AQs) and their dimeric natural products, bisanthraquinones (BQs). These compounds share a 9,10-anthracenedione core derived from emodin. The biosynthetic pathway of emodin has been firmly established, while that of other AQs and BQs is still unclear. In this study, we identified the biosynthetic gene clusters for chrysophanol and skyrin. The function of key modification enzymes was examined by performing biotransformation experiments and in vitro enzymatic reactions with emodin and its derivatives, allowing us to propose a mechanism for the modification reactions. The present study provides insight into the biosynthesis of AQs and BQs in T. islandicus.

    Abstract Ribosomally synthesized and posttranslationally modified peptides (RiPPs) are growing class of natural products with potent biological activities. Although the core scaffolds of RiPPs are composed of proteinogenic amino acids, remarkable structural diversity is generated through posttranslational modifications (PTMs) of precursor peptides. In addition, ribosomal origin of biosynthetic precursors enables supply of its analogs through genetic approach such as site-directed mutagenesis on corresponding genes. As PTM enzymes often exhibit substrate tolerance, RiPP biosynthetic machineries are considered as efficient tools for generation of unique peptide derivatives. RiPP pathways are distributed among all domains of life and those derived from bacteria and plants have been known for decades. In contrast, fungal RiPPs (F-RiPPs) have fewer examples. Amatoxins and omphalotins are F-RiPPs produced by Basidiomycota fungi. In the biosynthesis of these compounds, macrocyclization by prolyl oligopeptidase homologs and N-methylations of back bone amides have been characterized, respectively. Ustiloxins and related compounds are another group of F-RiPPs with characteristic macrocyclic ethers. UstYa family proteins, which are fungi-specific putative oxidases, have been identified as common proteins involved in PTMs of these compounds. Despite a limited number of characterized examples, recent progress in sequencing of fungal genomes indicated that a number of RiPP pathways are hidden in fungal resources, making F-RiPPs as attractive target for genome mining studies while more detailed understandings of key biosynthetic enzymes are still necessary. This review seeks to describe recent advances on the F-RiPP biosynthesis with slight emphasis on the function of UstYa family proteins.

    Abstract Eremophilanes exhibit diverse biological activities and chemical structures. This study reports the bioinformatics-guided reconstitution of the biosynthetic machinery of fungal eremophilanes, eremofortin C and sporogen-AO1, to elucidate their biosynthetic pathways. Their biosyntheses include P450-catalyzed multistep oxidation and enzyme-catalyzed isomerization by the DUF3237 family protein. Successful characterization of six P450s enabled us to discuss the functions of eremophilane P450s in putative eremophilane biosynthetic gene clusters, providing opportunities to understand the oxidative modification pathways of fungal eremophilanes.

    Abstract Albopeptins produced by Streptomyces albofaciens JC-82-120 were isolated as effective antibiotics for plant pathogenetic disease in 1986. However, their unusual physicochemical properties hampered the determination of their chemical structures. In this report, we describe our efforts to elucidate their structures. Initially, the structure of an unusual C13-fatty acid with an N-hydroxyguanidyl group was determined using degradation and chemical synthesis. After the linear portion of the octapeptide core was constructed based on the 2D-NMR data, the final assembly of the unusual structure, including the sulfoxide bridge, was achieved through the analysis of detailed NMR data. The proposed structure of albopeptin B was supported by MS/MS data, which also enabled us to determine the structure of 5 albopeptin family members. Bioinformatics analysis of the genomic data of the producer strain further led us to propose that their biosynthetic pathway is similar to the ribosomally derived lanthipeptides possessing a long-chain fatty acid.

    Abstract Jawsamycin is a polyketide-nucleoside hybrid with a unique polycyclopropane moiety on a single polyketide chain. The unexpected isolation of cyclopropane deficient jawsamycin analogs allowed us to propose a stepwise cyclopropanation mechanism for the enzymatic synthesis of this polyketide. The concise timing of the cyclopropanation could be regulated by a delicate balance between reaction rates of the condensation and cyclopropanation reactions.
