Advances in mitochondrial compartmentalization for terpenoid synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Mitochondria provide a unique enriched acetyl coenzyme A reservoir and an ideal redox environment, offering an efficient supply for the biosynthesis of terpene precursors and terpene products.

Simultaneous Real-Time Measurement of Isoprene and 2-Methyl-3-Buten-2-Ol Emissions From Trees Using SIFT-MS [PDF]
The C5 hemiterpenes isoprene and 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (MBO) are important biogenic volatiles emitted from terrestrial vegetation. Isoprene is emitted from many plant groups, especially trees such as Populus, while emission of MBO is restricted to ...

An Artificial Pathway for Isoprenoid Biosynthesis Decoupled From Native Hemiterpene Metabolism [PDF]
Isoprenoids are constructed in nature using hemiterpene building blocks that are biosynthesized from lengthy enzymatic pathways with little opportunity to deploy precursor-directed biosynthesis. Here, an artificial alcohol-dependent hemiterpene biosynthetic pathway was designed and coupled to several isoprenoid biosynthetic systems, affording lycopene ...

Genome-Wide Analysis of Terpene Synthase Family in Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) Explores the Potential Cross-Talk in Terpenoid Biosynthesis [PDF]
Background Terpenoids constitute a diverse group of primary and secondary metabolites that are extensively distributed in living organisms and play key roles in growth, development, and environmental adaptation.

Promiscuity of an Alcohol-Dependent Hemiterpene Pathway for the in Vivo Production of a Non-Natural Alkylated Tryptophan Derivative [PDF]
The prenyl motif determines the biological activity of many natural products. Yet, structural diversification of the prenyl site has been restricted due to the limitations of native biosynthetic pathways to hemiterpenes, the universal isoprenoid building blocks.

The synthesis of 6-acetyl-2,2-dimethyl-8-methoxychromene (1c), a naturally occurring isomer of encecalin (1a) has been described starting from 2,2,6-trimethyl-8-methoxychromene (2e) which was obtained from creosol (4) in two steps involving condensation of the phenol with malic acid to the coumarin (3), followed by Grignard reaction with CH2MgI.

Abstract Isoprenoids are a large class of natural products with wide‐ranging applications. Synthetic biology approaches to the manufacture of isoprenoids and their new‐to‐nature derivatives are limited due to the provision in nature of just two hemiterpene building blocks for isoprenoid biosynthesis.

Synthesis of hemiterpene 1-bromo-3-methyl-2-butene derivatives [PDF]
Hemiterpene 1-bromo-2-methyl-2-butene (prenyl bromide) is widely used as a prenyl source for various organic synthesis. One of them is the development of synthetic fragrances for the perfume industry which is growing rapidly for daily consumption. Based on our literature study, most fragrances contain terpenes.
