Committed steps in GA biosynthesis. CPS converts GGPP into CPP via a protonation-initiated (i.e. class II) mechanism. Further cyclization of CPP into kaurene is catalyzed by KS, which removes the pyrophosphate group from the substrate, as is characteristic of prototypical (i.e. class I) terpene cyclases.
