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)

relationship of CPS and KSL genes and metabolic connection

evolution
TwTPS27 belongs to the terpene synthase super family, subfamily TPS-b, additional diTPS detected in clade TPS-b detected in Tripterygium wilfordii roots by transcriptome analysis, overview
malfunction

RNA interference targeting either both of the copalyl diphosphate synthases, TwTPS7v2 and TwTPS9v2, or the subsequently acting miltiradiene synthase, TwTPS27v2, leads to decreased production of triptolide
malfunction
isoform KSL3a derived from an alternative splicing event produces isopimaradiene and miltiradiene, while KSL3 only produces miltiradiene. The six residues encoded by the alternative exon are 17 residues away from the conserved DDXXD motif. Maintaining two residues within the six-amino acid is sufficient for miltiradiene production
metabolism

-
the enzyme is involved in tanshinone biosynthesis
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. Hypothetical biosynthetic pathway of carnosic acid and carnosol produced in Rosmarinus officinalis, overview
metabolism
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
metabolism
miltiradiene synthase TwTPS27 couples with copalyl diphosphate synthase TwTPS9 converting normal copalyl diphosphate to miltiradiene, GC-MS analysis of TwTPS9/CPS and TwTPS27 assay products. Detection of several simple abietane-type diterpenes and triptolide in the root, specific targeting of the transcriptome of the root for discovery of additional candidate TPSs with a characteristic DxDD motif and involved in the biosynthesis of diterpenoids in Tripterygium wilfordii, overview
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
metabolism
pimar-15-en-8-yl+ is an intermediate in miltiradiene synthesis. At the beginning of the catalysis reaction, the class I active site utilizes a trinuclear metal cluster triggering the ionization of substrate (+)-copalyl diphosphate, resulting in the loss of diphosphate abstraction. The ionization of (+)-copalyl diphosphate leads to an allyl cation with two mesomeric structures. Then, the carbocation transfers to form the pimar-15-en-8-yl+. Subsequently, the specific C8-C9 double bond forms, with the participation of Y837, S717, H721 and E690. Both residues E690 and Y837 are located at the newly formed ring of miltiradiene and may participate in the final 1,2-methyl migration
physiological function

enzyme SfKSL is responsible for the formation of the carnosic acid precursor miltiradiene
physiological function
miltiradiene is the relevant precursor in the biosynthesis of tripolide. Triptolide and celastrol are the main active diterpenoid and triterpenoid ingredients, respectively, that exhibit impressive and effective anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive and anti-tumor activities and make Tripterygium wilfordii a medicinal plant
