quantitative RT-PCR expression analysis on whole leaves shows that RoKSL2 and RoKSL1 are preferentially expressed in young leaves, with RoKSL1 being much less expressed than RoKSL2. Direct comparison of the expression levels between RoKSL1 and RoKSL2 in isolated trichomes and in the remaining leaves indicates that RoKSL1 is not specific to the trichomes and significantly less expressed than RoKSL2 (RoKSL1 transcript level about 1% of expression of RoKSL2); quantitative RT-PCR expression analysis on whole leaves shows that RoKSL2 and RoKSL1 are preferentially expressed in young leaves, with RoKSL1 being much less expressed than RoKSL2.

metabolism

several stereoisomers of copalyl diphosphate (CDP) are found, among which the most common is ent-CDP, the precursor of gibberellins. Other isomers are syn-CDP and normal-CDP, the latter being utilized for the biosynthesis of diterpene resin acids in Gymnosperms and abietane-type tanshinones in Salvia miltiorrhiza. The second step of the cyclization is initiated through the formation of a carbocation upon ionization of the diphosphate linkage of CDP. This is catalyzed by class I terpene synthases which can transform CDP into a variety of polycyclic diterpenoids. By analogy to other labdane-type diterpenoids, the biosynthesis of the diterpene precursor of the carnosic acid pathway in rosemary proceeds in two sequential steps catalyzed by two distinct enzymes. The first is a class II TPS enzyme, CPS1, EC 5.5.1.12, that yields normal CDP, which then is converted by a KSL enzyme to yield an abietane diterpene, miltiradiene. Miltiradiene synthase appears in two isoforms, RoKSL1 and RoKSL2, in Rosmarinus officinalis.

metabolism
-
Lamiaceae-specific clade genes (IrCPS1 and IrCPS2) synthesize the intermediate copalyl diphosphate (normal-CPP), while IrCPS4 and IrCPS5 synthesize the intermediate ent-copalyl diphosphate (ent-CPP). IrKSL2, IrKSL4, and IrKSL5 react with ent-CPP to produce an ent-isopimaradiene-like compound, ent-atiserene and ent-kaurene, respectively. Correspondingly, the Lamiaceae-specific clade genes IrKSL1 or IrKSL3 combined with normal-CPP lead to the formation of miltiradiene. Proposed diterpenoid biosynthesis in Isodon rubescens with two sequential diterpene synthases CPS1 and 2 and KSL1 and 3, overview. Miltiradiene is the precursor of abietatriene

miltiradiene is the relevant precursor in the biosynthesis of tripolide. Triptolide production is induced by methyl jasmonate. ENzyme TwTPS7v2, TwTPS9v2 and TwTPS27v2 are involved in triptolide biosynthesis

expression of copalyl diphosphate synthase and miltiradiene synthase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, results in production of 4.2 mg/l miltiradiene. Miltiradiene production increases to 8.8 mg/l by improving supply of geranylgeranyl diphosphate by over-expression of a fusion gene of farnesyl diphosphate synthase ERG20 and endogenous geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase BTS1 together with a heterologous geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase from Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. Combinatorial overexpression of truncated 3-hydroxyl-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase with a mutated global regulatory factor upc2.1 and ERG20-BTS1-geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase genes has synergetic effects on miltiradiene production, increasing titer to 61.8 mg/l. In fed-batch fermentation 488 mg/l miltiradiene can be produced
