Identification of a fungal 1,8-cineole synthase from Hypoxylon sp. with specificity determinants in common with the plant synthases

Abstract:

Background: 1,8-Cineole, a commercially important monoterpene, was identified as a fungal product. Results: The 1,8-cineole synthase was identified from a Hypoxylon fungal genome, and mutagenesis revealed a critical asparagines residue. Conclusion: The fungal 1,8-cineole synthase uses a mechanism similar to the plant version. Significance: This is the first identified fungal monoterpene synthase and may facilitate future terpene synthase identification and production.
