Prenyltransferases (PTs) catalyze the transfer of one or more prenyl units with chain lengths of n x C5 (n = 1, 2 etc.) to diverse acceptors. Prenylations are essential in both the primary and secondary metabolism of all organisms. PTs are often involved in the biosynthetic pathways of secondary metabolites (SMs). Many indole alkaloids (IAs) from Ascomycota are such SMs generated by diverse enzymes and PTs of the dimethylallyl tryptophan synthase (DMATS) superfamily with L-tryptophan as a precursor. These PTs mostly use the prenyl donor dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) to catalyze metal ion-independently and regiospecific Friedel-Crafts alkylation at the indole ring. The increased lipophilicity of prenylated substances is often associated ...
