Abstract

Terpenoid cyclases catalyze remarkably complex cyclisation cascades that are initiated by the formation of a highly reactive carbocation in a polyisoprene substrate [PubMed9914250]. The pathways of monoterpene, sesquiterpene, and diterpene biosynthesis are conveniently divided into several stages [PubMed9539701]. The first encompasses the synthesis of isopentenyl diphosphate, isomerization to dimethylallyl diphosphate, prenyltransferase-catalysed condensation of these two C5-units to geranyl diphosphate (GDP), and the subsequent 1'-4 additions of isopentenyl diphosphate to generate farnesyl (FDP) and geranylgeranyl (GGDP) diphosphate. In the second stage, the prenyl diphosphates undergo a range of cyclisations based on variations on the same mechanistic theme to produce the parent skeletons of each class. Thus, GDP (C10) gives rise to monoterpenes, FDP (C15) to sesquiterpenes, and GGDP (C20) to diterpenes. These transformations catalysed by the terpenoid synthases (cyclases) may be followed by a variety of redox modifications of the parent skeletal types to produce the many thousands of different terpenoid metabolites of the essential oils, turpentines, and resins of plant origin. Terpenoid synthases enzymes provide a template for binding and stabilizing the flexible substrate in the precise orientation required for catalysis, trigger carbocation formation, chaperone the conformations of the reactive carbocation intermediates through a unique cyclisation sequence, and sequester and stabilize carbocations from premature quenching [PubMed9914250].

Browse genome assignments for this superfamily. The SUPERFAMILY hidden Markov model library has been used to carry out SCOP domain assignments to all genomes at the superfamily level.


Alignments of sequences to 53 models in this superfamily are available by clicking on the 'Alignments' icon above. PDB sequences less than 40% identical are shown by default, but any other sequence(s) may be aligned. Select PDB sequences, genome sequences, or paste in or upload your own sequences.


Browse and view proteins in genomes which have different domain combinations including a Terpenoid synthases domain.


Examine the distribution of domain superfamilies, or families, across the major taxonomic kingdoms or genomes within a kingdom. This gives an immediate impression of how superfamilies, or families, are restricted to certain kingdoms of life.


Explore domain occurrence network where nodes represent genomes and edges are domain architectures (shared between genomes) containing the superfamily of interest.

There are 53 hidden Markov models representing the Terpenoid synthases superfamily. Information on how the models are built, and plots showing hydrophobicity, match emmission probabilities and insertion/deletion probabilities can be inspected.
