摘要
The first step in the biosynthesis of the anticancer compound Taxol (paclitaxel) and many other natural C20 diterpenes is the cyclization of an isoprenoid, catalysed by taxadiene synthase. The X-ray crystal structure of this enzyme from the Pacific yew has now been determined. Its C-terminal catalytic domain binds and activates the substrate in a manner seen in class I terpenoid cyclases, but the N-terminal domain and a third 'insertion' domain adopt the fold of a class II terpenoid cyclase. This suggests that this enzyme could be the ancestral progenitor of all terpenoid cyclases.
