The flavoprotein monooxygenase (FPMO) TerC is encoded by all known cyclopentene biosynthetic gene clusters. It can catalyze oxidative dearomatization toward a series of 6-HM analogues and further induces different skeletal distortions to form either benzoquinone or pyrone by bimodal reaction cascades, which is only governed by the C7 substitutions. Beyond our study demonstrated bimodal reaction cascades and advanced the biosynthetic knowledge of fungal cyclopentenes, this work also sets the stage for the bioengineering of 6-HM polyketides.
