Sesquarterpenes (C35 Terpenes) Biosynthesized via the Cyclization of a Linear C35 Isoprenoid by a Tetraprenyl-β-curcumene Synthase and a Tetraprenyl-β-curcumene Cyclase: Identification of a New Terpene Cyclase
摘要:
In this study, mono- and pentacyclic C-35 terpenes from Bacillus subtilis were biosynthesized via the cydization of C-35 isoprenoid using purified enzymes, including the first identified new terpene cydase that shows no sequence homology to any of the known terpene cyclases. On the basis of these findings, we propose that these C-35 terpenes should be called the new family of "sesquarterpenes."

monocycle to a pentacycle, also cyclizes a tail-to-tail type of linear squalene into a bicyclic triterpenol, 8α-hydroxypolypoda-13,17,21-triene. The 8α-hydroxypolypoda-13,17,21-triene was found to be a natural triterpene from B. megaterium. It was also demonstrated that cyclizations of both tetraprenyl-β-curcumene and squalene occurred with a purified B. megaterium TC homologue in the same reaction
