| Description | AveC catalyzes the stereospecific spiroketalization of a dihydroxy-ketone polyketide intermediate in the biosynthetic pathway of Avermectin, a potent antiparasitic agent. Additionally, it has a unique dehydration activity that serves to determine the regiospecific saturation pattern for spiroketal diversity [ ]. MeiC, the counterpart in the biosynthesis of AVE-like meilingmycin, also has spirocyclase activity, but lacks the dehydratase activity. | Name | Spirocyclase AveC-like |
| Short Name | AveC-like | Type | Family |
