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.

(+)-copalyl-diphosphate lyase (decyclizing)
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.
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

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
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)
using a combination of protein and genetic engineering, significant improvements in the production of sclareol and several other isoprenoids is achieved, including cis-abienol, abietadiene, and beta-carotene. Recombinant expression of enzyme PaLAS in Saccharomyces cerevisiae AM94 cells, coexpression with different Saccharomyces cerevisiae farnesyl diphosphate synthase ERG20 variants increases diterpene yields by up to 15fold compared to expression of the Cistus creticus GGPPS
transient heterologous expression of the isopimaric acid pathway in Nicotiana benthamiana. Expressing DXS and GGPPs from Plectranthus barbatus in Nicotiana benthamiana are efficient in boosting diterpenoid levels compared to coexpression of the Nicotiana endogenous DXS and GGPPs genes, which have no effect on boosting diterpenoid level.

the development of yeast strains carrying the engineered Erg20p, which support efficient isoprenoid production, e.g. by abietadiene synthase, and can be used as a dedicated chassis for diterpene production or biosynthetic pathway elucidation. The design developed can be applied to the production of any GGPP-derived isoprenoid and is compatible with other yeast terpene production platforms, method overview
