Summary: | We report the three‐dimensional structure of cyclolavandulyl diphosphate (CLPP) synthase (CLDS), which consecutively catalyzes the condensation of two molecules of dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) followed by cyclization to form a cyclic monoterpene, CLPP. The structures of apo‐CLDS and CLDS in complex with Tris, pyrophosphate, and Mg2+ ion were refined at 2.00 Å resolution and 1.73 Å resolution, respectively. CLDS adopts a typical fold for cis‐prenyl synthases and forms a homo‐dimeric structure. An in vitro reaction using a regiospecifically 2H‐substituted DMAPP substrate revealed the intramolecular proton transfer mechanism of the CLDS reaction. The CLDS structure and structure‐based mutagenesis provide mechanistic insights into this unprecedented terpene synthase. The combination of structural and mechanistic insights advances the knowledge of intricate terpene synthase‐catalyzed reactions.
Eine Synthase, die beides kann: Cyclolavandulyldiphosphat(CLPP)‐Synthase (CLDS) katalysiert die „Kopf‐zu‐Mitte”‐Kondensation von zwei Molekülen Dimethylallyldiphosphat (DMAPP) und die anschließende Cyclisierung zu CLPP. Die Kristallstruktur von CLDS im Komplex mit Tris, Pyrophosphat und Mg2+ wurde mit 1.73 Å Auflösung bestimmt. Eine In‐vitro‐Reaktion mit regiospezifisch deuteriertem DMAPP, die CLDS‐Struktur und Mutagenese liefern Einblicke in den Mechanismus dieser einzigartigen Terpensynthase. |
