The x-ray crystal structure of dimeric (؉)-bornyl diphosphate synthase, a metal-requiring monoterpene cyclase from Salvia officinalis, is reported at 2.0-Å resolution. Each monomer contains two ␣-helical domains: the C-terminal domain catalyzes the cyclization of geranyl diphosphate, orienting and stabilizing multiple reactive carbocation intermediates; the N-terminal domain has no clearly defined function, although its N terminus caps the active site in the C-terminal domain during catalysis. Structures of complexes with aza analogues of substrate and carbocation intermediates, as well as complexes with pyrophosphate and bornyl diphosphate, provide ''snapshots'' of the terpene cyclization cascade.

“…The racemic tertiary alcohol (18, 42%) was separated from other products by silica gel chromatography and characterized by 1 H, 13 C and 19 F spectral data. (18) by the Cramer procedure [26][27][28] as modified by Danilov [29] and Assink [7,30] ((Bu 4 N) 2 HPO 4 , CCl 3 CN, CH 3 CN, 25°C, 30 min) (Scheme 2) followed by precipitation of inorganic ammonium salts (2% NH 3 in MeOH) and gradient ion exchange chromatography (NH 4 HCO 2 in MeOH) on a Dowex 1X8-400 column provided fractions containing monophosphate, diphosphate, and NH 4 HCO 2 . The ammonium formate was then removed by passage through an Amberlite XAD column with aq.…”

Removal of inorganic salts and separation of the monophosphates and diphosphates was accomplished as described above for 2-FLPP.…”

“…This version of the recombinant enzyme was truncated at R58, the approximate cleavage site for the plastid targeting sequence [39]. The cDNA encoding bornyl diphosphate synthase from sage (Salvia officinalis) [40] was also subcloned into the pSBET [38] vector, expressed in E. coli and purified (to ~98%) as previously described [7,12]. This version of the recombinant enzyme was similarly truncated at E50 to provide a pseudomature form devoid of the plastid transit peptide [9,12].…”

“…These mechanistic features appear to be common to nearly all monoterpene cyclase transformations, with subsequent steps involving either termination of the reaction by deprotonation or nucleophile capture, or further electrophilic cyclizations via the remaining double bond, hydride shifts, or rearrangements before termination [1][2][3]. For example, direct deprotonation from the adjacent methyl of the (4S)-α-terpinyl cation (3b) yields (−)-limonene (4) [4,5], whereas C7-C1 bridging of the (4R)-α-terpinyl intermediate (3a) with capture of the resulting cation (5) by the paired diphosphate anion generates (+)-bornyl diphosphate (6) [6,7].…”

The tightly coupled nature of the reaction sequence catalyzed by monoterpene synthases has prevented direct observation of the topologically required isomerization step leading from geranyl diphosphate to the enzyme-bound, tertiary allylic intermediate linalyl diphosphate, which then cyclizes to the various monoterpene skeletons. X-ray crystal structures of these enzymes complexed with suitable analogues of the substrate and intermediate could provide a clearer view of this universal, but cryptic, step of monoterpenoid cyclase catalysis. Toward this end, the functionally inert analogues 2-fluorogeranyl diphosphate, (±)-2-fluorolinalyl diphosphate, and (3R)-and (3S)-homolinalyl diphosphates (2,6-dimethyl-2-vinyl-5-heptenyl diphosphates) were prepared, and compared to the previously described substrate analogue 3-azageranyl diphosphate (3-aza-2,3-dihydrogeranyl diphosphate) as inhibitors and potential crystallization aids with two representative monoterpenoid cyclases, (−)-limonene synthase and (+)-bornyl diphosphate synthase. Although these enantioselective synthases readily distinguished between (3R)-and (3S)-homolinalyl diphosphates, both of which were more effective inhibitors than was 3-azageranyl diphosphate, the fluorinated analogues proved to be the most potent competitive inhibitors and have recently yielded informative liganded structures with limonene synthase.

The stereochemistry in the acid-catalysed biomimetic cyclization of [8,8,8-D 3 ]geranyl acetate was examined in solution and under conditions of zeolite Y confinement. In the intrazeolite reaction the gem-allylic methyl group adopts a diastereoselective disposition in the cyclization product (64 % dr). In contrast, the gem-dimethyl disposition in a homogeneous medium (ClSO 3 H/2-nitropropane) proceeds
