The pyran ring is a very common structural unit of many natural, bioactive molecules that are widely found in plants, bacteria, and fungi. However, the enzymatic processes by which many of these pyran-containing molecules are formed are unclear. Herein, we report the construction of the pyran ring catalyzed by the cooperation of a flavin-dependent monooxygenase, XimD, and a SnoaL-like cyclase, XimE, in the biosynthesis of xiamenmycins. XimD catalyzes the formation of an epoxide intermediate that spontaneously transforms to furan and pyran products (43:1) in vitro. XimE then catalyzes the formation of the pyran ring in a 6-endo configuration from the epoxide to yield a benzopyran, xiamenmycin B. Further, we obtained the crystallographic structure of XimE, with and without product, which suggests a synergistic mechanism in which a group of four residues (Y46–Y90–H102–E136) acts cooperatively as the general acid and base. Subsequent structure-based analysis of possible viable substrates indicates that both X...
