Prenylated aromatics are produced by aromatic prenyltransferases during the secondary metabolism of bacteria, fungi and plants. The prenylation of nonprenylated precursors can lead to great chemical diversity and extensive biological properties. Aspergillus terreus aromatic prenyltransferase (AtaPT), which has recently been discovered and characterized, is such an enzyme and is responsible for the prenylation of various aromatic compounds. Here, recombinant AtaPT was overexpressed in Escherichia ...[more]
