Popis: Three diterpene synthases from actinomycetes have been studied. The first enzyme from Streptomyces cattleya produced the novel compound cattleyene. The other two enzymes from Nocardia testacea and Nocardia rhamnosiphila were identified as phomopsene synthases. The cyclisation mechanism of cattleyene synthase and the EIMS fragmentation mechanism of its product were extensively studied by incubation experiments with isotopically labelled precursors. Oxidative transformations expanded the chemical space of these unique diterpenes.
