CC -!- FUNCTION: 4-dimethylallyltryptophan N-methyltransferase; part of the
CC gene cluster that mediates the biosynthesis of fungal ergot alkaloid
CC (PubMed:10071219, PubMed:14732265, PubMed:14700635, PubMed:15904941,
CC PubMed:17308187, PubMed:17720822). DmaW catalyzes the first step of
CC ergot alkaloid biosynthesis by condensing dimethylallyl diphosphate
CC (DMAP) and tryptophan to form 4-dimethylallyl-L-tryptophan
CC (PubMed:14732265). The second step is catalyzed by the
CC methyltransferase easF that methylates 4-dimethylallyl-L-tryptophan in
CC the presence of S-adenosyl-L-methionine, resulting in the formation of
CC 4-dimethylallyl-L-abrine (By similarity). The catalase easC and the
CC FAD-dependent oxidoreductase easE then transform 4-dimethylallyl-L-
CC abrine to chanoclavine-I which is further oxidized by easD in the
CC presence of NAD(+), resulting in the formation of chanoclavine-I
CC aldehyde (PubMed:20118373, PubMed:21409592). Agroclavine dehydrogenase
CC easG then mediates the conversion of chanoclavine-I aldehyde to
CC agroclavine via a non-enzymatic adduct reaction: the substrate is an
CC iminium intermediate that is formed spontaneously from chanoclavine-I
CC aldehyde in the presence of glutathione (PubMed:20735127,
CC PubMed:21494745). The presence of easA is not required to complete this
CC reaction (PubMed:21494745). Further conversion of agroclavine to
CC paspalic acid is a two-step process involving oxidation of agroclavine
CC to elymoclavine and of elymoclavine to paspalic acid, the second step
CC being performed by the elymoclavine oxidase cloA (PubMed:16538694,
CC PubMed:17720822). Paspalic acid is then further converted to D-lysergic
CC acid (PubMed:15904941). Ergopeptines are assembled from D-lysergic acid
CC and three different amino acids by the D-lysergyl-peptide-synthetases
CC composed each of a monomudular and a trimodular nonribosomal peptide
CC synthetase subunit (PubMed:14700635, PubMed:15904941). LpsB and lpsC
CC encode the monomodular subunits responsible for D-lysergic acid
CC activation and incorporation into the ergopeptine backbone
CC (PubMed:14700635). LpsA1 and A2 subunits encode the trimodular
CC nonribosomal peptide synthetase assembling the tripeptide portion of
CC ergopeptines (PubMed:14700635). LpsA1 is responsible for formation of
CC the major ergopeptine, ergotamine, and lpsA2 for alpha-ergocryptine,
CC the minor ergopeptine of the total alkaloid mixture elaborated by
CC C.purpurea (PubMed:17560817, PubMed:19139103). D-lysergyl-tripeptides
CC are assembled by the nonribosomal peptide synthetases and released as
CC N-(D-lysergyl-aminoacyl)-lactams (PubMed:24361048). Cyclolization of
CC the D-lysergyl-tripeptides is performed by the Fe(2+)/2-ketoglutarate-
CC dependent dioxygenase easH which introduces a hydroxyl group into N-(D-
CC lysergyl-aminoacyl)-lactam at alpha-C of the aminoacyl residue followed
CC by spontaneous condensation with the terminal lactam carbonyl group
CC (PubMed:24361048). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q50EL0,
