Two chimeric sesterterpene synthases (AaTPS1 and AaTPS2) were functionally characterized from Alternaria alternata MB-30 isolated from the leaves of a sesterterpenoid-producing Lamiaceae plant Leucosceptrum canum. AaTPS1 generated a 5/8/6/5 tetracyclic sesteraltererol (1) and its absolute stereochemistry was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis of its derivative 10, 11-epoxysesteraltererol (2), which enabled revision of the absolute configuration of C7 of sesterfisherol produced by NfSS and PTTS014 characterized previously and its derivative 10, 11-epoxysesterfisherol. AaTPS2 produced a 5/15 bicyclic preterpestacin I (3). Site-directed mutagenesis suggested that F192 in AaTPS1 was likely involved in controlling of the hydroxylation of C12, and eight amino acids were important for the enzyme activity of AaTPS1 and AaTPS2. The engineered Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains were constructed for the productions of compounds 1 and 3, and the highest titer of compound 1 reached 62.3 mg/L in shake-flask culture. Both compounds 1 and 2 showed anti-adipogenic activity.
