Fig. 1. 18(4→3) abeo-abietane methyl shift.

Fig. 1

a Hypothesized scheme for the rearrangement of methyl groups on the A-ring of labdane type diterpenoids and examples of diterpenoids with the 18(4→3) abeo-abietane core structure. Examples of labdane type diterpenoids from the Lamiaceae species Coleus forskohlii and the Celastracae species T. wilfordii with an abeo-abietane core structure are shown. The rings of the tricyclic core structure are denoted A, B, and C. b Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis of selected CYP genes from the 71 clan, including plant CYPs from the CYP82 and CYP71 subfamily, and NtCYP51 as the root. Shown CYPs are involved in either phenylpropanoid (purple) or terpenoid (grey) biosynthesis (Supplementary Table 22, Supplementary Fig. 1). TwCYP genes functionally characterized in this work highlighted in bold. Nodes marked * are supported by bootstrap values >85%. c Schematic overview of the genome location of the Tw genes used for heterologous biosynthesis of triptonide in the T. wilfordii genome6. Genes marked with * are found as tandem repeats with each copy having on average nucleotide sequence identity of 88.7% to the cDNA sequence of each of the genes used in this paper (Supplementary Table 23). TwCYP71BE84 and TwCYP71BE86 homologs are each found in tandem repeats in two different loci of the T. wilfordii genome.
