Enzymatic characterization of AaTPS2, AaTPS5, and AaTPS6 recombinant proteins. (A) GC–MS analysis of pentane extracts of AaTPS6, AaTPS2, and AaTPS5 recombinant proteins after incubation with GPP as substrate. The protein tag produced by pET32a empty vector was used as control. (B,C) Product percentages of AaTPS5 (B) and AaTPS6 (C), sabinene (peaks 5) and β-phellandrene (peak 7) were calculated together because they could not be separated well by gas chromatography. Peaks are: (1) tricyclene; (2) α-thujene; (3) α-pinene; (4) camphene; (5) sabinene; (6) β-pinene; (7) β-phellandrene; (8) β-myrcene; (9) 1,8-cineole; (10) trans-sabinene hydrate; (11) cis-β-terpineol; (13) α-terpineol; (12) and (14) products unidentified. (D) Relative activities of AaTPS2, AaTPS5, and AaTPS6 with different divalent metal cofactors. (E) Relative activities of AaTPS2, AaTPS5, and AaTPS6 recombinant proteins toward GPP substrate at different temperatures.
