Shampoo ginger (Zingiber zerumbet Smith) has a high content and large variety of terpenoids in the essential oil of its rhizome. Here, we report on the isolation of a cDNA clone (ZSS1) encoding alpha-humulene synthase, a possible key enzyme of zerumbone biosynthesis. This clone contains an open reading frame of 1,644 bp and is predicted to encode a protein of 548 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 64.5 kDa. The deduced amino acid sequence shows 34-63% identity with known sesquiterpene synthases of other angiosperm species. Based on exon-intron organization, ZSS1 is classified as the terpene synthase-III (TPS-III) subfamily. When expressed in Escherichia coli, the recombinant enzyme catalyzed the formation of a major product, alpha-humulene (95%) and a minor by-product, beta-caryophyllene (5%). Introduction of ZSS1 and the foreign mevalonate pathway involved in FPP synthesis into E. coli results in in vivo production of alpha-humulene. Transcript of ZSS1 was detected almost exclusively in rhizomes and was up-regulated in both leaves and rhizomes after treatment with methyl jasmonate (MeJA), suggesting its ecological function in shampoo ginger. << Less

Plant cytochrome P450s are involved in the biosynthesis of various classes of secondary metabolites. To elucidate the biosynthesis of zerumbone, a sesquiterpenoid with multiple potential anticancer properties, a family of P450 genes expressed in rhizomes of Zingiber zerumbet Smith, were cloned using a PCR-based cloning strategy. After functional expression in yeast, one of these P450s was found to convert α-humulene into 8-hydroxy-α-humulene, a proposed intermediate of zerumbone biosynthesis. This P450 has been designated CYP71BA1, a new member of the CYP71 family. CYP71BA1 transcripts were detected almost exclusively in rhizomes and showed a similar expression pattern to ZSS1 transcripts during rhizome development. Coexpression of a gene cluster encoding four enzymes of the mevalonate pathway with CYP71BA1 and ZSS1 in Escherichia coli leads to the production of 8-hydroxy-α-humulene in the presence of mevalonate, suggesting the possibility of microbial production of this zerumbone intermediate from a relatively simple carbon source by metabolic engineering. << Less
