“Cation-Stitching Cascade”: exquisite control of terpene cyclization in cyclooctatin biosynthesis
Terpene cyclization is orchestrated by terpene cyclases, which are involved in the biosynthesis of various cyclic natural products, but understanding the origin and mechanism of the selectivity of terpene cyclization is challenging. In this work, we describe an in-depth mechanistic study on cyclooctatin biosynthesis by means of theoretical calculations combined with experimental methods. We sho...
متن کاملEmergence of terpene cyclization in Artemisia annua
The emergence of terpene cyclization was critical to the evolutionary expansion of chemical diversity yet remains unexplored. Here we report the first discovery of an epistatic network of residues that controls the onset of terpene cyclization in Artemisia annua. We begin with amorpha-4,11-diene synthase (ADS) and (E)-β-farnesene synthase (BFS), a pair of terpene synthases that produce cyclic o...
متن کاملCyclization vs. cyclization/dimerization in o-amidostilbene radical cation cascade reactions: the amide question.
The n-butyramido, isobutyramido, benzamido, and furancarboxamido functions profoundly modulate the electronics of the stilbene olefinic and NH groups and the corresponding radical cations in ways that influence the efficiency of the cyclization due presumably to conformational and stereoelectronic factors. For example, isobutyramido- stilbene undergoes FeCl(3) promoted cyclization to produce on...
متن کاملAsymmetric oxidative cation/olefin cyclization of polyenes: evidence for reversible cascade cyclization.
The biosynthesis of cyclic terpenes from polyene precursors by cyclase enzymes is one of nature’s most elegant chemical transformations.[1] The ease with which nature creates complex molecular architectures from achiral precursors has motivated efforts to develop similarly powerful synthetic methodologies.[2] Alimited number of asymmetric methods have been developed,[3] including the notable Br...
متن کاملSubstrate geometry controls the cyclization cascade in multiproduct terpene synthases from Zea mays.
Multiproduct terpene synthases TPS4-B73 and TPS5-Delprim from maize (Zea mays) catalyze the conversion of farnesyl diphosphate (FDP) and geranyl diphosphate (GDP) into a complex mixture of sesquiterpenes and monoterpenes, respectively. Various isotopic and geometric isomers of natural substrates like (2Z)-[2-(2)H]- and [2,4,4,9,9,9-(2)H6]-(GDP) and (2Z,6E)-[2-(2)H]- and [2,4,4,13,13,13-(2)H6]-(...
