Structure of bifunctional variediene synthase yields unique insight on biosynthetic diterpene assembly and cyclization
Abstract An unusual family of bifunctional terpene synthases has been identified in which a prenyltransferase assembles 5-carbon precursors to form C20 geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP), which is then converted into a polycyclic product by a cyclase. Here, we report the cryo-EM structure of a massiv...
