Genome Mining Reveals a Novel Nephthenol‐Producing Diterpene Synthase from the Sandfly Lutzomyia Longipalpis

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.
The discovery of a terpene synthase of insect origin that makes the apparently cryptic product nephthenol from geranylgeranyl diphosphate sheds light on hidden biosynthetic potential. Populations of the sandfly, Lutzomyia longipalpis, use the diterpene sobralene as a sex/aggregation pheromone, which is likely produced in the insect through the activity
