Terpene biosynthesis from geranyl and neryl pyrophosphates by enzymes from orange flavedo

Add time:07/23/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

A cell free extract from orange flavedo forms phosphorylated derivatives of isopentenol, dimethylallyl alcohol and farnesol, as well as small amounts of hydrocarbons from 2-14C mevalonic acid. Isopentenyl pyrophosphate 4-14C is transformed into phosphorylated derivatives of dimethylallyl alcohol, nerol, geraniol, linalool and α-terpineol. The eventual formation of linaloyl pyrophosphate is discussed. Limonene is formed from 2-14C neryl or geranyl pyrophosphate to the extent of 1–3%. α-Pinene is formed only from the cis isomer 2-14C neryl pyrophosphate. There are differences between this system and a similar one from P. radiata seedlings. No interconversion of neryl and geranyl pyrophosphate was observed.
