Product Profiles of Egyptian Henbane Premnaspirodiene The Journal of Antibiotics (2016) 69, 524–533 & 2016 Japan Antibiotics Research Association All rights reserved 0021-8820/16 www.nature.com/ja ORIGINAL ARTICLE Biosynthetic potential of sesquiterpene synthases: product profiles of Egyptian Henbane premnaspirodiene synthase and related mutants Hyun Jo Koo1,3, Christopher R Vickery1,2,3,YiXu1, Gordon V Louie1, Paul E O'Maille1, Marianne Bowman1, Charisse M Nartey1, Michael D Burkart2 and Joseph P Noel1 The plant terpene synthase (TPS) family is responsible for the biosynthesis of a variety of terpenoid natural products possessing diverse biological functions. TPSs catalyze the ionization and, most commonly, rearrangement and cyclization of prenyl diphosphate substrates, forming linear and cyclic hydrocarbons. Moreover, a single TPS often produces several minor products in addition to a dominant product. We characterized the catalytic profiles of Hyoscyamus muticus premnaspirodiene synthase (HPS) and compared it with the profile of a closely related TPS, Nicotiana tabacum 5-epi-aristolochene synthase (TEAS). The profiles of two previously studied HPS and TEAS mutants, each containing nine interconverting mutations, dubbed HPS-M9 and TEAS- M9, were also characterized. All four TPSs were compared under varying temperature and pH conditions. In addition, we solved the X-ray crystal structures of TEAS and a TEAS quadruple mutant complexed with substrate and products to gain insight into the enzymatic features modulating product formation. These informative structures, along with product profiles, provide new insight into plant TPS catalytic promiscuity.

Several omics studies have been carried out in this filamentous fungus during the last decade, which have contributed to gathering a deep knowledge about the molecular mechanisms underlying improved productivity in industrial strains. The information provided by these studies is extremely useful for enhancing the production of penicillin or other bioactive secondary metabolites by means of Biotechnology or Synthetic Biology.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract The genes of most eukaryotic organisms are organised into coding (exon) and non­ coding (intron) sequences. Since their discovery, introns have been the subject of a considerable amount of research focused on trying to locate correlations be­ tween intron positions and protein structure. However, in many cases these studies have suffered from using small datasets. In recent years, the amount of available nucleotide sequence data, protein sequence data, and protein structure data has rapidly increased, allowing more reliable and accurate conclusions to be drawn from contemporaneous analyses. The work presented in this thesis is an investigation of intron positions in relation to protein sequence, structure, and function.
