Key Points

The study reveals the intricate reaction mechanism of deoxypodophyllotoxin synthase in catalyzing C-C coupling.
Key evidence shows that deoxypodophyllotoxin synthase efficiently catalyzes this reaction in a non-heme environment.
The methodology employed includes analysis of enzyme activity and product formation in the presence of the substrate.
This finding supports the importance of non-heme dioxygenases in natural product synthesis and potential applications.

Implication

This research uncovers the reaction mechanism of intramolecular C-C coupling catalyzed by deoxypodophyllotoxin synthase from Sinopodophyllum hexandrum, indicating its role in synthesis.

Abstract

Deoxypodophyllotoxin synthase (DPS) is a non-heme dioxygenase from Sinopodophyllum hexandrum that catalyzes the intramolecular C-C coupling reaction between the aromatic ring and the methylene group in the synthesis of the...
