Structure of tabersonine synthase - an alpha-beta hydrolase from Catharanthus roseus
Structural highlights
FunctionTS_CATRO Component of iboga and aspidosperma monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs, e.g. tabersonine and catharanthine) biosynthesis pathway from 19E-geissoschizine. Catalyzes the conversion of O-acetylstemmadenine (OAS) to tabersonine, a precursor of vindoline.[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedCycloaddition reactions generate chemical complexity in a single step. Here we report the crystal structures of three homologous plant-derived cyclases involved in the biosynthesis of iboga and aspidosperma alkaloids. These enzymes act on the same substrate, named angryline, to generate three distinct scaffolds. Mutational analysis reveals how these highly similar enzymes control regio- and stereo-selectivity.
