The genome of the cabbage clubroot pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin 1877 (Cercozoa, Rhizaria, SAR), possesses two expressed genes encoding the P450s that are phylogenetically related to the enzymes of oxylipin biosynthesis of the CYP74 clan. The cDNA of one of these genes (CYP50918A1) has been expressed in E. coli. The preferred substrate for the recombinant protein, the 13-hydroperoxide of α-linolenic acid (13-HPOT), was converted to the novel heterobicyclic oxylipins, plasmodiophorols A and B (1 and 2) at the ratio ca. 12:1. Compounds 1 and 2 were identified as the substituted 6-oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane and 2-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane (respectively) using the MS and NMR spectroscopy, as well as the chemical treatments. The ¹⁸O labelling experiments revealed the incorporation of a single ¹⁸O atom from [¹⁸O₂]13-HPOT into the epoxide and ether functions of products 1 and 2 (respectively), but not into their OH groups. In contrast, the ¹⁸O from [¹⁸O₂]water was incorporated only into the hydroxyl functions. One more minor polar product, plasmodiophorol C (3), identified as the cyclopentanediol, was formed through the hydrolysis of compounds 1 and 2. Plasmodiophorols A–C are the congeners of egregiachlorides, hybridalactone, ecklonialactones and related bicyclic oxylipins detected before in some brown and red algae. The mechanism of 13-HPOT conversions to plasmodiophorols A and B involving the epoxyallylic cation intermediate is proposed. The hydroperoxide bicyclase CYP50918A1 is the first enzyme controlling this kind of fatty acid hydroperoxide conversion.
