IUBMB Comments
The enzyme reacts with (3S)-linalyl diphosphate twice as rapidly as geranyl diphosphate, but 25 times as rapidly as (3R)-linalyl diphosphate. It is assumed that (3S)-linalyl diphosphate is normally formed as an enzyme bound intermediate in the reaction. In the reaction the 5-pro-R hydrogen of geranyl diphosphate is eliminated during cyclopropane ring formation [1,2]. In Picea abies (Norway spruce) and Picea sitchensis (Sitka spruce) terpinolene is also formed [4,6]. See EC 4.2.3.113 terpinolene synthase. (+)-Car-3-ene is associated with resistance of Picea sitchensis (Sitka spruce) to white pine weevil .

COMMENTARY
LITERATURE
evolution
evolutionary inference from Lavandula TPS genes, Li3CARS is highly homologous to the Lavandula angustifolia limonene synthase (LaLIMS), and is clustered with this gene under angiosperm mTPSs (TPS-b) subfamily
metabolism
biosynthesis of monoterpenes catalyzed by recombinant Li3CARS from geranyl diphosphate (GPP, derived from plastidial 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol-4-phosphate pathway) and neryl diphosphate (NPP)
physiological function
additional information
physiological function
(+)-3-carene is associated with resistance of Sitka spruce to white pine weevil, Pissodes strobi. Variation of the (+)-3-carene phenotype is controlled by copy number variation of TPS-3car genes, variation of gene and protein expression, and variation in catalytic efficiencies
physiological function
lavenders produce essential oils consisting mainly of monoterpenes, including the potent antimicrobial and insecticidal monoterpene 3-carene. Gene Li3CARS encodes a leaf-specific, methyl jasmonate (MeJA)-responsive monoterpene synthase from Lavandula x intermedia. The transcriptional activity of Li3CARS correlates with 3-carene production. enzyme Li3CARS may play a defensive role in lavenders
physiological function
-
car-3-ene, a bicyclic monoterpene hydrocarbon consisting of a fused cyclohexene and cyclopropane rings, is a common substance in the conifer. Analysis of the phyto-compounds in resin and monoterpenes in Pinus densiflora after infection with pine wood nematode (PWN, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) shows that among the resin phytochemicals in japanese red pine, 3-carene is distinctly enhanced after PWN inoculation. The emitted plant volatile monoterpenes are analyzed by HS-SPME/GC-MS. The pine wood nematode (PWN) seriously damages Pinus densifloracausing the pine wilt disease (PWD). Application of 3-carene to PWNs shows a mild nematicidal activity with 45.98% mortality at the concentration of 10 mg/ml. Inhibition activity of 3-carene against Botrytis cinerea

PCR-based approach to identify BAC clones for two target genes, 3-carene synthase and a cytochrome P450 from a non-arrayed genomic BAC library. Shotgun genomic fragments isolated from the BAC clones were sequenced to a depth of 15.6- and 16.0fold coverage, respectively. Assembly and manual curation yielded sequence scaffolds of 172 kbp long for 3CAR. Inspection of the genomic sequences reveals the intron-exon structures, the putative promoterregions and putative cis-regulatory elements. Sequences related to transposable elements, high complexity repeats and simple repeats are prevalent and comprise approximately 40% of the sequenced genomic DNA
