Biosynthesis of volatile terpenes that accumulate in the secretory cavities of young leaves of Japanese pepper (Zanthoxylum piperitum): Isolation and functional characterization of monoterpene and sesquiterpene synthase genes.

Only registered users can translate articles

Volatile terpenes are ones of the characteristic aromas of Japanese pepper (Zanthoxylum piperitum). It has been hypothesized that the specialized epithelial cells surrounding the secretory cavities of Japanese pepper fruits and leaves are responsible for the synthesis of monoterpenes and

Terpene cyclization catalysed inside a self-assembled cavity.

In nature, complex terpene natural products are formed by the so-called tail-to-head terpene (THT) cyclization. The cationic reaction cascade is promoted efficiently in complex enzyme pockets, in which cationic intermediates and transition states are stabilized. In solution, the reaction is hard to

Changes in volatile terpene and diterpene resin acid composition of resistant and susceptible white spruce leaders exposed to simulated white pine weevil damage.

Induced (traumatic) resin in white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) leaders resistant or susceptible to the white pine weevil (Pissodes strobi Peck) was analyzed for volatile terpenes and diterpene resin acids after simulated white pine weevil damage. Leaders from 331 trees were wounded just

Direct formation of the sesquiterpeonid ether liguloxide by a terpene synthase in Senecio scandens

Only registered users can translate articles

SsLOS directly catalyzed formation of the sesquiterpenoid ether liguloxide in the medicinal plant Senecio scandens. Terpene synthases determine the diversity of terpene skeletons and corresponding terpenoid natural products. Oxygenated groups introduced in catalysis of terpene synthases are

Antimicrobial activity of fractions and subfractions of Elaeagia utilis against microorganisms of importance in dental caries.

Only registered users can translate articles

Dental caries is a multifactorial infectious disease that leads to the destruction of dental hard tissue. The main goal of research into medicinal plants is to seek compounds with antimicrobial activity for subsequent use in prevention strategies and control of infectious diseases. The aim of this

High marker density GWAS provides novel insights into the genomic architecture of terpene oil yield in Eucalyptus.

Only registered users can translate articles

Terpenoid-based essential oils are economically important commodities, yet beyond their biosynthetic pathways, little is known about the genetic architecture of terpene oil yield from plants. Transport, storage, evaporative loss, transcriptional regulation and precursor competition may be important

Isolation of a sesquiterpene synthase expressing in specialized epithelial cells surrounding the secretory cavities in rough lemon (Citrus jambhiri).

Only registered users can translate articles

Volatile terpenoids such as monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes play multiple roles in plant responses and are synthesized by terpene synthases (TPSs). We have previously isolated a partial TPS gene, RlemTPS4, that responds to microbial attack in rough lemon. In this study, we isolated a full length

The rice terpene synthase gene OsTPS19 functions as an (S)-limonene synthase in planta, and its overexpression leads to enhanced resistance to the blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae.

Rice blast disease, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, is the most devastating disease of rice. In our ongoing characterization of the defence mechanisms of rice plants against M. oryzae, a terpene synthase gene OsTPS19 was identified as a candidate defence gene. Here, we report the functional

Rational conversion of substrate and product specificity in a Salvia monoterpene synthase: structural insights into the evolution of terpene synthase function.

Only registered users can translate articles

Terpene synthases are responsible for the biosynthesis of the complex chemical defense arsenal of plants and microorganisms. How do these enzymes, which all appear to share a common terpene synthase fold, specify the many different products made almost entirely from one of only three substrates?

Identifying and manipulating structural determinates linking catalytic specificities in terpene synthases.

Only registered users can translate articles

Terpene synthases are a mechanistically intriguing family of enzymes that catalyze complex, multistep reactions that are capable of generating hundreds of structurally diverse hydrocarbon and oxygenated scaffolds of biological and commercial importance. Interestingly, distantly related terpene

The Product Specificities of Maize Terpene Synthases TPS4 and TPS10 Are Determined both by Active Site Amino Acids and Residues Adjacent to the Active Site.

Only registered users can translate articles

Terpene synthases make up a large family of enzymes that convert prenyl diphosphates into an enormous variety of terpene skeletons. Due to their electrophilic reaction mechanism-which involves the formation of carbocations followed by hydride shifts and skeletal rearrangements-terpene synthases

Anti-inflammatory Potential of Terpenes Present in Cannabis sativa L.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cannabis sativa L. (C. sativa) contains an array of plant-derived (phyto) cannabinoids and terpenes that are predominantly located in the trichome cavity of the plant. Terpenes, aromatic organic hydrocarbons characterized for their role in plant protection/pollination, are gaining

Genomic Analysis of Terpene Synthase Family and Functional Characterization of Seven Sesquiterpene Synthases from Citrus sinensis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Citrus aroma and flavor, chief traits of fruit quality, are derived from their high content in essential oils of most plant tissues, including leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits. Accumulated in secretory cavities, most components of these oils are volatile terpenes. They contribute to defense

Enzymatic Addition of Alcohols to Terpenes by Squalene Hopene Cyclase Variants.

Only registered users can translate articles

Squalene-hopene cyclases (SHCs) catalyze the polycyclization of squalene into a mixture of hopene and hopanol. Recently, amino-acid residues lining the catalytic cavity of the SHC from Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius were replaced by small and large hydrophobic amino acids. The alteration of leucine

Acid-catalyzed cyclization of terpenes under homogeneous and heterogeneous conditions as probed through stereoisotopic studies: a concerted process with competing preorganized chair and boat transition states.

Only registered users can translate articles

Based on stereoisotopic studies and beta-secondary isotope effects, we propose that the acid-catalyzed cyclization of geranyl acetate proceeds through a concerted mechanism. Under heterogeneous conditions (zeolite Y confinement), a preorganized chairlike transition state predominates, whereas under
