A new triterpene synthase from Arabidopsis thaliana produces a tricyclic triterpene with two hydroxyl groups.
Xiang T., Shibuya M., Katsube Y., Tsutsumi T., Otsuka M., Zhang H., Masuda K., Ebizuka Y.
[structure: see text] Thirteen oxidosqualene cyclase homologues exist in the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana. One of these genes, At4g15340, was amplified by PCR and expressed in yeast. The yeast transformant accumulated tricyclic triterpene, (3S,13R)-malabarica-17,21-dien-3,14-diol (arabidiol), wh ... >> More
[structure: see text] Thirteen oxidosqualene cyclase homologues exist in the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana. One of these genes, At4g15340, was amplified by PCR and expressed in yeast. The yeast transformant accumulated tricyclic triterpene, (3S,13R)-malabarica-17,21-dien-3,14-diol (arabidiol), whose structure was determined by NMR and MS analyses. Its epoxide analogue, (3S,13R,21S)-malabarica-17-en-20,21-epoxy-3,14-diol (arabidiol 20,21-epoxide), was also isolated from the transformed yeast. This is the first example of a triterpene synthase that yields a tricyclic triterpene with two hydroxyl groups. << Less

An oxidosqualene cyclase from Arabidopsis thaliana makes arabidiol, a tricyclic triterpene reported with indeterminate side-chain stereochemistry. We established the full structure of arabidiol through chemical degradation, NOE experiments, and molecular modeling. By examining the mechanistic constraints that govern water addition in triterpene synthesis, we further show how the stereochemistry of hydroxylation can generally be deduced a priori, why deprotonation is more common than hydroxylation, and why cyclases that perform hydroxylation also generate olefinic byproducts. << Less
