Abstract | The skeleton of tropane alkaloids is derived from ornithine-derived N-methylpyrrolinium and two malonyl-CoA units. The enzymatic mechanism that connects N-methylpyrrolinium and malonyl-CoA units remains unknown. Here, we report the characterization of three pyrrolidine ketide synthases (PYKS), AaPYKS, DsPYKS, and AbPYKS, from three different hyoscyamine- and scopolamine- producing plants. By examining the crystal structure and biochemical activity of AaPYKS, we show that the reaction mechanism involves PYKS-mediated malonyl-CoA condensation to generate a 3-oxo-glutaric acid intermediate that can undergo non-enzymatic Mannich-like condensation with N-methylpyrrolinium to yield the racemic 4-(1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinyl)-3-oxobutanoic acid. This study therefore provides a long sought-after biosynthetic mechanism to explain condensation between N-methylpyrrolinium and acetate units and, more importantly, identifies an unusual plant type III polyketide synthase that can only catalyze one round of malonyl- CoA condensation. |
