Molecular cloning, functional expression and characterization of (E)-beta farnesene synthase from Citrus junos.
Maruyama T., Ito M., Honda G.
We cloned the gene of the acyclic sesquiterpene synthase, (E)-beta-farnesene synthase (CJFS) from Yuzu (Citrus junos, Rutaceae). The function of CJFS was elucidated by the preparation of recombinant protein and subsequent enzyme assay. CJFS consisted of 1867 nucleotides including 1680 bp of coding ... >> More
We cloned the gene of the acyclic sesquiterpene synthase, (E)-beta-farnesene synthase (CJFS) from Yuzu (Citrus junos, Rutaceae). The function of CJFS was elucidated by the preparation of recombinant protein and subsequent enzyme assay. CJFS consisted of 1867 nucleotides including 1680 bp of coding sequence encoding a protein of 560 amino acids with a molecular weight of 62 kDa. The deduced amino acid sequence possessed characteristic amino acid residues, such as the DDxxD motif, which are highly conserved among terpene synthases. This is the first report of the cloning of a terpene synthase from a Rutaceous plant. A possible reaction mechanism for terpene biosynthesis is also discussed on the basis of sequence comparison of CJFS with known sesquiterpene synthase genes. << Less

Expression, purification and characterization of recombinant (E)-beta-farnesene synthase from Artemisia annua.
Picaud S., Brodelius M., Brodelius P.E.
A cDNA clone (GenBank Accession No. AY835398) encoding a sesquiterpene synthase, (E)-beta-farnesene synthase, has been isolated from Artemisia annua L. It contains a 1746-bp open reading frame coding for 574 amino acids (66.9 kDa) with a calculated pI=5.03. The deduced amino acid sequence is 30-50 ... >> More
A cDNA clone (GenBank Accession No. AY835398) encoding a sesquiterpene synthase, (E)-beta-farnesene synthase, has been isolated from Artemisia annua L. It contains a 1746-bp open reading frame coding for 574 amino acids (66.9 kDa) with a calculated pI=5.03. The deduced amino acid sequence is 30-50% identical with sequences of other sesquiterpene synthases from angiosperms. The recombinant enzyme, produced in Escherichia coli, catalyzed the formation of a single product, beta-farnesene, from farnesyl diphosphate. The pH optimum for the recombinant enzyme is around 6.5 and the K(m)- and k(cat)-values for farnesyl diphosphate, is 2.1 microM and 9.5 x 10(-3) s(-1), respectively resulting in the efficiency 4.5 x 10(-3) M(-1)s(-1). The enzyme exhibits substantial activity in the presence of Mg(2+), Mn(2+) or Co(2+) but essentially no activity when Zn(2+), Ni(2+) or Cu(2+) is used as cofactor. The concentration required for maximum activity are estimated to 5 mM, 0.5 mM and <10 microM for Mg(2+), Co(2+) or Mn(2+), respectively. Geranyl diphosphate is not a substrate for the recombinant enzyme. << Less
