Non-plant Terpene Cyclases, Class 1; This CD includes terpenoid cyclases such as pentalenene synthase and aristolochene synthase which, using an all-trans pathway, catalyze the ionization of farnesyl diphosphate, followed by the formation of a macrocyclic intermediate by bond formation between C1 with either C10 (aristolochene synthase) or C11 (pentalenene synthase), resulting in production of tricyclic hydrocarbon pentalenene or bicyclic hydrocarbon aristolochene. As with other enzymes with the 'terpenoid synthase fold', they have two conserved metal binding motifs, proposed to coordinate Mg2+ ion-bridged binding of the diphosphate moiety of FPP to the enzymes. Metal-triggered substrate ionization initiates catalysis, and the alpha-barrel active site serves as a template to channel and stabilize the conformations of reactive carbocation intermediates through a complex cyclization cascade. These enzymes function in the monomeric form and are found in fungi, bacteria and Dictyostelium.

Terpene cyclases, Class 1; Terpene cyclases, Class 1 (C1) of the class 1 family of isoprenoid biosynthesis enzymes, which share the 'isoprenoid synthase fold' and convert linear, all-trans, isoprenoids, geranyl (C10)-, farnesyl (C15)-, or geranylgeranyl (C20)-diphosphate into numerous cyclic forms of monoterpenes, diterpenes, and sesquiterpenes. Also included in this CD are the cis-trans terpene cyclases such as trichodiene synthase. The class I terpene cyclization reactions proceed via electrophilic alkylations in which a new carbon-carbon single bond is generated through interaction between a highly reactive electron-deficient allylic carbocation and an electron-rich carbon-carbon double bond. The catalytic site consists of a large central cavity formed by mostly antiparallel alpha helices with two aspartate-rich regions located on opposite walls. These residues mediate binding of prenyl phosphates via bridging Mg2+ ions, inducing proposed conformational changes that close the active site to solvent, stabilizing reactive carbocation intermediates. Mechanistically and structurally distinct, class II terpene cyclases and cis-IPPS are not included in this CD. Taxonomic distribution includes bacteria, fungi and plants.

Plant Terpene Cyclases, Class 1; This CD includes a diverse group of monomeric plant terpene cyclases (Tspa-Tspf) that convert the acyclic isoprenoid diphosphates, geranyl diphosphate (GPP), farnesyl diphosphate (FPP), or geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) into cyclic monoterpenes, diterpenes, or sesquiterpenes, respectively; a few form acyclic species. Terpnoid cyclases are soluble enzymes localized to the cytosol (sesquiterpene synthases) or plastids (mono- and diterpene synthases). All monoterpene and diterpene synthases have restrict substrate specificity, however, some sesquiterpene synthases can accept both FPP and GPP. The catalytic site consists of a large central cavity formed by mostly antiparallel alpha helices with two aspartate-rich regions located on opposite walls. These residues mediate binding of prenyl diphosphates, via bridging Mg2+ ions (K+ preferred by gymnosperm cyclases), inducing conformational changes such that an N-terminal region forms a cap over the catalytic core. Loss of diphosphate from the enzyme-bound substrate (GPP, FPP, or GGPP) results in an allylic carbocation that electrophilically attacks a double bond further down the terpene chain to effect the first ring closure. Unlike monoterpene, sesquiterene, and macrocyclic diterpenes synthases, which undergo substrate ionization by diphosphate ester scission, Tpsc-like diterpene synthases catalyze cyclization reactions by an initial protonation step producing a copalyl diphosphate intermediate. These enzymes lack the aspartate-rich sequences mentioned above. Most diterpene synthases have an N-terminal, internal element (approx 210 aa) whose function is unknown.

Terpene synthase family, metal binding domain; It has been suggested that this gene family be designated tps (for terpene synthase). It has been split into six subgroups on the basis of phylogeny, called tpsa-tpsf. tpsa includes vetispiridiene synthase, 5-epi- aristolochene synthase, and (+)-delta-cadinene synthase. tpsb includes (-)-limonene synthase. tpsc includes kaurene synthase A. tpsd includes taxadiene synthase, pinene synthase, and myrcene synthase. tpse includes kaurene synthase B. tpsf includes linalool synthase.
