The isoprene emission rate from plants is simulated by a function of light intensity and leaf temperature, and the G-93 formula is the most extensively applied algorithm for this purpose. Isoprene is biosynthesized by the enzyme isoprene synthase (IspS), and instantly emitted from the leaf. Enzyme kinetics of IspS and substrate availability are important factors involved in the short-term leaf-level control of isoprene emissions. It is thus assumed that the parameters of G-93 may correlate with the kinetics of IspSs, however, at present there is no data available on the relationship between these two parameters. In this investigation, six IspS genes from tropical trees were cloned, their properties characterized, and the relationship between the enzyme kinetics of IspSs and the parameters of G-93 examined. There was a negative correlation between the enzyme kinetics of IspSKmand parameterCT1of G93, which is used to define the temperature dependency of isoprene emissions. However, performance constant of IspS (kcat/Km) only showed slight positive correlation withCT1.suggesting that the enzyme kinetics of IspS has limited significance in controlling the temperature response of isoprene emissions. The molecular structure of IspS was further elucidated using a molecular dynamics simulation with a focus on the active site in the 6 α-helices bundle. The simulation of the enzyme–substrate complex of IspS fromB. variegatapredicted a new metal binding domain in helix F (E383) and catalytic motif FXRDRLXE in the A-C loop that could involve the deprotonation of dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMADP) to form a carbocation. Notably, after the binding of a metal ion and DMADP, the active-site closure mechanism was found to involve conformational alterations in the helix H-α1 and transition from a loose to tight enclosure of the 6 α-helices bundles to tune the active pocket size. The characteristics identified for the IspSs from tropical trees could help to explain regional isoprene emissions in tropical areas.
