The marine bacterial flavoenzymes Clz9 and Tcz9 can process cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) to the minor cannabinoid, cannabichromenic acid (CBCA), however, the mechanistic details of this extrinsic transformation are still obscure. Here, we report a thorough analysis of CBCA-formation by Clz9 and Tcz9 through high-resolution crystallographic characterization, biochemical analysis, and spectroscopic interrogation. Our work reveals that Clz9 and Tcz9 use different biochemical mechanisms from Cannabis cyclases and each other in their production of CBCA. Collection of a high-resolution substrate-bound structure, the first for any cannabinoid cyclase, provides key insights into how active site architecture affects substrate binding and stereoselectivity. Engineering approaches improve the stereoselectivity of CBCA formation by Clz9 and Tcz9, providing access to (R) and (S)-CBCA. Collectively, our work advances understanding of enzymatic cannabinoid formation and cements Clz9 and Tcz9 as two unique members of the BBE-like enzyme family with encouraging potential for biocatalytic cannabinoid production applications.
