In some plants, such as Salvia miltiorrhiza, this enzyme is monofunctional. In other plants this activity is often a part of a bifunctional enzyme. For example, in Selaginella moellendorffii this activity is catalysed by a bifunctional enzyme that also catalyses EC 4.2.3.131, miltiradiene synthase, while in the tree Abies grandis (grand fir) it is catalysed by a bifunctional enzyme that also catalyses EC 4.2.3.18, abietadiene synthase.

BDTC-like enzyme, miltiradiene synthase converts geranylgeranyl diphosphate to a diterpene hydrocarbon product with a molecular mass of 272 Da. Mutation in the type-B active motif of BDTC-like enzyme miltiradiene synthase, D611G/D612G, abolishes the cyclase activity, whereas (+)-copalyl diphosphate, the reaction intermediate from the conversion of geranylgeranyl diphosphate to the hydrocarbon product, rescues the cyclase activity of the mutant to form a diterpene hydrocarbon. Another mutant lacking type-A activity, D391G/D392G, accumulates copalyl diphosphate as the reaction intermediate
abietadiene synthase (PaLAS) is a bifunctional terpene synthase that catalyzes both class I and class II reactions, i.e. formation of (+)-copalyl diphosphate from geranylgeranyl diphosphate (EC 5.5.1.12, class II diTPS), and formation of abieta-8(14),12-diene from (+)-copalyl diphosphate (cf. EC 4.2.3.32, class I diTPS)
the bifunctional diterpene synthase isopimara-7, 15-diene synthase (diTPS-ISO) catalyzes the cyclization of geranylgeranyl diphosphate to (+)-copalyl diphosphate and the formation of isopimara-7,15-diene from (+)-copalyl diphosphate (cf. EC 4.2.3.44). Compound identification and quantification by GC-MS analysis
gymnosperm diterpene synthases of diterpene resin acid biosynthesis are bifunctional enzymes that catalyze the initial bicyclization of geranylgeranyl diphosphate followed by rearrangement of a (+)-copalyl diphosphate intermediate at two discrete class II and class I active sites. The bifunctional jack pine and lodgepole pine LAS enzymes demonstrated that the class I active sites of monofunctional proteins can use the (+)-copalyl diphosphate intermediate produced by the class II active site of the bifunctional enzymes, overview

miltiradiene synthesis reaction with geranylgeranyl diphosphate to miltiradiene, EC 4.2.3.131, via (+)-copalyl diphosphate intermediate, not ent-copalyl diphosphate. The enzyme catalyzes the successive two-step type-B (protonation-initiated cyclization) and type-A (ionization-initiated cyclization) reactions of geranylgeranyl diphosphate. The two aspartate-rich motifs, 389DIDD and 611DDLMD, that are required for the type-B and type-A cyclization reactions, respectively. Product analysis by GC-MS and NMR spectroscopy

changing two adjacent residues that seem to serve as the catalytic base in the normal CPP synthase from Salvia miltiorrhiza (SmCPS) to the residues found in the closely related perigrinol diphosphate synthase from Marrubium vulgare (MvPPS), which produces a partially rearranged and hydroxylated product derived from the distinct syn stereoisomer of labdaenyl intermediate, alters the product outcome, cf. EC 5.5.1.14. Specifically, the relevant SmCPS:H315N/T316V double mutant produces terpentedienyl diphosphate, which is derived from complete substituent rearrangement of syn rather than normal labdaenyl intermediate. Alteration of the residues that normally serve as the catalytic base can impact stereocontrol
the chloroplastidic bifunctional diterpene synthase, isopimara-7,15-diene synthase (diTPS-ISO) from Picea abies and a cytosolic multifunctional cytochrome P450 (CYP720B4, UniProt ID E5FA70) from Picea sitchensis, which is associated to the endoplasmic reticulum. The diterpene synthase diTPS-ISO converts geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) to the tricyclic diterpene isopimara-7,15-diene (isopimaradiene)
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, that yields normal CDP, which then is converted to miltiradiene by a KSL enzyme, miltiradiene synthase, EC 4.2.3.131, which apears in two isoforms, RoKSL1 and RoKSL2, in Rosmarinus officinalis. Hypothetical biosynthetic pathway of carnosic acid and carnosol produced in Rosmarinus officinalis, overview
the bifunctional diterpene synthase, isopimara-7, 15-diene synthase (diTPS-ISO) and a multifunctional cytochrome P450, CYP720B4 perform the biosynthesis of isopimaric acid. The diterpene synthase converts geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) to the tricyclic diterpene isopimara-7,15-diene (isopimaradiene) via formation of (+)-copalyl diphosphate. In three subsequent oxygenation reactions, the endoplasmic reticulum-associated enzyme CYP720B4 catalyzes the conversion of isopimaradiene into isopimaric acid, pathway overview
class II diterpene cyclases (DTCs) utilize a general acid-base catalyzed cyclo-isomerization reaction to produce various stereoisomers of the eponymous labdaenyl carbocation intermediate, which can then undergo rearrangement and/or the addition of water prior to terminating deprotonation. Identification of the pair of residues that cooperatively serves as the catalytic base in the DTCs producing ent-copalyl diphosphate (CPP) required for gibberellin phytohormone biosynthesis in all vascular plants, overview
