However, there are only limited reports of the responsible cyclases. Here, we report structural and mechanistic investigations on AmbDH3, a polyketide synthase domain with dual activity as dehydratase (DH) and pyran-forming cyclase in ambruticin biosynthesis. AmbDH3 is similar to monofunctional DH domains, using H51 and D215 for dehydration. V173 was confirmed as a diagnostic residue for cyclisation activity by a mutational study and enzymatic in vitro experiments. Similar motifs were observed in the seemingly monofunctional AmbDH2, which also shows an unexpected cyclase activity. Our results pave the way for mining of hidden cyclases in biosynthetic pathways. They also open interesting prospects for the generation of novel biocatalysts for chemoenzymatic synthesis and pyran-polyketides by combinatorial biosynthesis.
