Publication Abstract from PubMed

Aj_EasH is a non-heme iron- and alpha-keto-glutarate-dependent oxidase that is responsible for an unusual cyclopropyl ring formation in the biosynthesis of the fungal ergot alkaloid cycloclavine. The three dimensional structure of Aj_EasH (2.2 A resolution) reported here provides insight into the mechanism of this unusual and complex reaction.
