Graphical Abstract
  • mutagenesis of key enzymes, including terpene cyclases and α-ketoglutarate (αKG)-dependent dioxygenases, that contribute to the structural diversity. Notable progress in genome sequencing has led to the discovery of many novel genes encoding these enzymes, while continued efforts in X-ray crystallographic
  • for the design of biosynthetic machineries to produce a variety of bioactive meroterpenoids. Keywords: αKG-dependent dioxygenases; enzyme engineering; fungal meroterpenoids; synthetic biology; terpene cyclases; Introduction Meroterpenoids are complex natural products with intricate skeletal
  • of acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase [4]. In this mini-review, we focus on the fungal meroterpenoids biosynthesis, especially terpenonid cyclizations and post-cyclization modifications, which mostly contribute to the skeletal diversity. Several terpenoid cyclases and αKG-dependent dioxygenases
