Intertwined Biosynthesis of Skyrin and Rugulosin A Underlies the Formation of Cage-Structured Bisanthraquinones

Yun Bin Han et al.

Summary: This study elucidates the mechanism by which fungi biosynthesize skyrin and rugulosin A, revealing the role of the rug gene cluster. Skyrin is formed through the 5,5'-dimerization of emodin radicals, while rugulosin A is constructed through intramolecular Michael addition. These findings expand our understanding of bisanthraquinone biosynthesis and open up possibilities for the synthetic production of skyrin, rugulosin A, and their analogues.
