Terpenoids, which are also known as isoprenoids, are a large and highly diverse group of natural products.[1–3] The structural diversity of terpenoids is a result of the cyclization of a limited number of linear polyprenyl diphosphate substrates, such as geranyl diphosphate (GDP, C10), farnesyl diphosphate (FDP, C15), and geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGDP, C20), to generate monocyclic or multicyclic compounds. Terpene cyclases play a key role in the biosynthetic processes of terpenoids, because they yield structurally and stereochemically diverse ring skeletons in the reaction cascade, which involves ionization, hydride shifts, deprotonation, protonation, methyl migration, and hydroxylation.[1, 3] The terpene cyclase reaction cascade is initiated by the formation of a highly reactive carbocation. There are two mechanisms for this carbocation formation: 1) ionization of the polyprenyl diphosphate substrate by diphosphate abstraction, and 2) protonation of the terminal olefin of the substrate.[3–7] Terpene cyclases are classified according to their mechanisms.[3–7] Class I terpene synthases initiate carbocation formation by substrate ionization, whereas class II terpene cyclases initiate carbocation formation by substrate protonation. ClassI terpene synthases contain DDXXD/E and/or NSE/DTE motifs, which chelate the Mg2+ ions that are used to bind the diphosphate moiety of the substrate and are required for the ionization of the allylic diphosphate ester bond. The class II terpene cyclases, in contrast, possess a DXDD motif, which serves as the catalytic acid that protonates the terminal carbon–carbon double-bond of the substrate. Note that a diphosphate group is missing in the reaction product that is formed by class I enzymes, whereas a diphosphate group is retained in the reaction product formed by class II enzymes. Members of the Streptomyces genus and other actinomycetes, which are Gram-positive bacteria, are known to produce an enormous variety of natural products. However, few diterpenes (C20) have been isolated from these bacteria. A limited number of diterpene cyclases that react with GGDP having been cloned from these bacteria and characterized, for example, terpentedienyl diphosphate synthase (Cyc1) from terpentecin-producing Kitasatospora griseola,[8, 9] ent-copalyl diphosphate synthase (SsCPS) from viguiepinol-producing Streptomyces sp. KO-3988,[10, 11] halimadienyl diphosphate synthase (Rv3377c) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37,[12] and cyclooctat-9-en-7-ol synthase (CotB2) from cyclooctatin-producing Streptomyces melanosporofaciens MI614-43F2 [13](Figure S1 in the Supporting Information). Of these four enzymes, Cyc1, SsCPS, and Rv3377c are considered to be class II terpene cyclases. As mentioned above, a diphosphate group is found in the reaction product formed by these class II enzymes. These class II enzymes are accompanied by class I terpene synthases Cyc2,[8] ORF3,[10] and Rv3378c,[14] which react with each reaction product of the classII terpene cyclases (Cyc1, SsCPS, and Rv3377c, respectively) to release a diphosphate group (FigureS1). Interestingly, Cyc1 and SsCPS were found by their proximity to the mevalonate pathway gene cluster, which provides isoprene unit precursors of GGDP.[8, 10] However, of the four above-mentioned enzymes, CotB2 is considered to be a class I diterpene synthase because it possesses an NSE motif.[13] In addition, a diphosphate group is removed by the reaction catalyzed by CotB2 to form the reaction product cyclooctat-9-en-7-ol.Here, we report two novel diterpene cyclases, DtcycA and DtcycB, that were mined from Streptomyces sp. SANK 60404, which …
