Abstract
This review summarizes the recent progress in research on the non-heme Fe(II)- and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases, which are involved in the biosynthesis of pharmaceutically important fungal meroterpenoids. This enzyme class activates a selective C-H bond of the substrate and catalyzes a wide range of chemical reactions, from simple hydroxylation to dynamic carbon skeletal rearrangements, thereby significantly contributing to the structural diversification and complexification of the molecules. Structure-function studies of these enzymes provide an excellent platform for the development of useful biocatalysts for synthetic biology to create novel molecules for future drug discovery.
