in orange tissues, the sesquiterpene profile is qualitatively rich. Overall, up to 25 sesquiterpenes are identified in total, overview. Small amounts of beta-caryophyllene are detected in all samples, while alpha-copaene, beta-elemene, alpha-humulene, and alpha-selinene are emitted by all tissues except young leaves. Beside this, each tissue shows a characteristic sesquiterpene emission profile. Major sesquiterpenes emitted by adult leaves are beta-elemene and beta-caryophyllene, while flowers emit nerolidol, absent from most tissues analyzed. In fruit tissues, valencene emission contributes greatly to total emitted volatiles, in much more extent in peel than in pulp

evolution
-
gene WtDcTPS1 exhibits highly conserved sequences of plant TPSs including the asparate-rich motif DDxxD and the RxR motif, both of which are involved in catalysis
evolution
-
in grapevine five genes are known to code for beta-caryophyllene synthases, but only one of them, VvGwECar2, is actually expressed in all plant tissues and therefore accounts for most of the volatile production in vegetative parts and berries, although in flowers two other genes, VvGwECar1 and VvPNECar2, seem to play a big role
evolution
isozyme RtTPS1 contains all the conserved domains of the TPS family, including the RR(P)X8W, RXR, and DDXXD (X is any amino acid) motifs, and absolutely conserved arginine, cysteine and histidine residues in active-site
evolution
isozyme RtTPS3 contains all the conserved domains of the TPS family, including the RR(P)X8W, RXR, and DDXXD (X is any amino acid) motifs, and absolutely conserved arginine, cysteine and histidine residues in active-site
evolution
the cyclization process catalyzed by PnTPSs follows a 1,10-closure mechanism assuming that the present PnTPSs have evolved from a common ancestor
evolution
the enzyme belongs to the terpene synthase (TPS) family
evolution
the enzyme belongs to the terpene synthase family, TPS-a subfamily
evolution
the enzyme belongs to typical class of sesquiterpene synthases from angiosperms, clade TPS-a. Across five Ocimum species, OkBCS shows the highest expression in Ocimum kilimandscharicum followed by Ocimum americanum, Ocimum tenuiflorum, and Ocimum gratissimum while Ocimum basilicum hadve trace levels

gene OkBCS silencing in Ocimum kilimandscharicum plants via Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101 mediated transfection. beta-Caryophyllene and alpha-humulene levels decrease by about 20% in silenced plants compared to controls. The silencing effect is more prominent in systemic leaves with 95% reduction in OkBCS transcripts against 51% decrease in local leaves
additional information
-
the enzyme from transgenic Arabidopsis thalina plants shows, in contrast with the behavior of the enzyme in vitro, no trace of germacrene D production. A low thujopsene production, also a higher selectivity for E-(beta)-caryophyllene production: the headspace of the modified plants is indeed dominated by alpha-humulene, thujopsene and E-(beta)-caryophyllene, in a 1:0.75:5 mass ratio (average). But a great variation in sesquiterpenes quantity among the different lines is observed, probably because of the difference in T-DNA copy number and expression. Overall, plants increase the E-(beta)-caryophyllene emission in the headspace collection by 8fold compared to Col-0 control plants. In grapevine VvGwECar2 overexpression result in higher E-(beta)-caryophyllene emissions. No differences in plant phenotypes or growth speed are observed
additional information
production of beta-caryophyllene by assembling a biosynthetic pathway in an engineered Escherichia coli strain of which phosphoglucose isomerase gene has been deleted. The 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate (DXP) or heterologous mevalonate (MVA) pathways are employed. Geranyl diphosphate synthase (GPPS2 gene from Abies grandis), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH gene), and beta-caryophyllene synthase genes are co-overexpressed in the engineered strain. The final genetically modified strain, YJM59, produces 220 mg/l of beta-caryophyllene in flask culture. Evaluation of fed-batch fermentation for the production of beta-caryophyllene. After induction for 60 h, the YJM59 strain produces beta-caryophyllene at a concentration of 1520 mg/l. The volumetric production fermented in the aerobic fed-batch is 0.34 mg/(l/h/OD600) and the conversion efficiency of glucose to beta-caryophyllene (gram to gram) is 1.69%. Method evaluation with beta-caryophyllene synthases from different origins, QHS1 from Artemisia annua is the most effective of the three enzymes, compared to TPS21 from Arabidopsis thaliana and TPS23 from Zea perennis.

gene VvGwECar2, recombinant overexpression in Escherichia coli strain BL21-CodonPlus(DE3)-RIPL, and transgenic recombinant overexpression under the control of cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter n the cytoplasm of Arabidopsis thaliana ecotype Col-0 and Vitis vinifera. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the stable enzyme expression changes the plant head space release, showing a higher selectivity for E-(beta)-caryophyllene, but also the production of thujopsene instead of germacrene D. Overall, plants increase the E-(beta)-caryophyllene emission in the headspace collection by 8fold compared to Col-0 control plants. In grapevine VvGwECar2 overexpression result in higher E-(beta)-caryophyllene emissions. Quantitative RT-PCR expression analysis
