Abstract
Naturally occurring prenylated acylphloroglucinol derivatives are plant metabolites with diverse biological and pharmacological activities. Prenylation of acylphloroglucinols plays an important role in the formation of these intriguing natural products and is catalyzed in plants by membrane-bound enzymes. In this study, we demonstrate the prenylation of such compounds by a soluble fungal prenyltransferase AnaPT involved in the biosynthesis of prenylated indole alkaloids. The observed activities of AnaPT toward these substrates are much higher than that of a microsomal fraction containing an overproduced prenyltransferase from the plant hop.
