Sesquiterpenes are formed through cyclization of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP), catalyzed by metal dependent terpene cyclases. This report describes the cloning and functional characterization of five genes, which encode two sesquisabinene synthases (SaSQS1, SaSQS2), bisabolene synthase (SaBS), santalene synthase (SaSS) and farnesyl diphosphate synthase (SaFDS) using the transcriptome sequencing of S. album. Using Illumina next generation sequencing, 33.32 million high quality raw reads were generated, which were assembled into 84,094 unigenes with an average length of 494.17 bp. Based on the transcriptome sequencing, five sesquiterpene synthases SaFDS, SaSQS1, SaSQS2, SaBS and SaSS involved in the biosynthesis of FPP, sesquisabinene, beta-bisabolene and santalenes, respectively, were cloned and functionally characterized. Novel sesquiterpene synthases (SaSQS1 and SaSQS2) were characterized as isoforms of sesquisabinene synthase with varying kinetic parameters and expression levels. Furthermore, the feasibility of microbial production of sesquisabinene from both the unigenes, SaSQS1 and SaSQS2 in non-optimized bacterial cell for the preparative scale production of sesquisabinene has been demonstrated. These results may pave the way for in vivo production of sandalwood sesquiterpenes in genetically tractable heterologous systems.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5.228</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jayaramaiah, Ramesha H.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anand, Atul</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Beedkar, Supriya D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dholakia, Shushan B.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Punekar, Sachin A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kalunke, Raviraj M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gade, Wasudeo N.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thulasiram, Hirekodathakallu V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giri, Ashok P.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Functional characterization and transient expression manipulation of a new sesquiterpene synthase involved in beta-caryophyllene accumulation in Ocimum</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biochemical And Biophysical Research Communications</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">beta-Caryophyllene</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Natural product biosynthesis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ocimum</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Terpene synthase</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Transient expression</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">APR</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">525 B ST, STE 1900, SAN DIEGO, CA 92101-4495 USA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">473</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">265-271</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The genus Ocimum has a unique blend of diverse secondary metabolites, with major proportion of terpenoids including mono- and sesquiterpenes. Although, beta-Caryophyllene, bicyclic sesquiterpene, is one of the major terpene found in Ocimum species and known to possess several biological activities, not much is known about its biosynthesis in Ocimum. Here, we describe isolation and characterization of beta-caryophyllene synthase gene from Ocimum kilimandscharicum Gurke (OkBCS- GenBank accession no. KP226502). The open reading frame of 1629 bp encoded a protein of 542 amino acids with molecular mass of 63.6 kDa and pl value of 5.66. The deduced amino acid sequence revealed 50-70% similarity with known sesquiterpene synthases from angiosperms. Recombinant OkBCS converted farnesyl diphosphate to beta-caryophyllene as a major product (94%) and 6% alpha-humulene. Expression variation of OkBCS well corroborated with beta-caryophyllene levels in different tissues from five Ocimum species. OkBCS transcript revealed higher expression in leaves and flowers. Further, agro-infiltration based transient expression manipulation with OkBCS over-expression and silencing confirmed its role in beta-caryophyllene biosynthesis. These findings may potentially be further utilized to improve plant defense against insect pests. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc.
