Description : (p59287|cass_ricco : 245.0) Casbene synthase, chloroplast precursor (EC 4.2.3.8) - Ricinus communis (Castor bean) & (at4g16730 : 236.0) In the Col ecotype, no functional protein is encoded at this locus due to the presence of a two-base (AT) insertion 184 nucleotides downstream of the start codon leading to a frame shift and premature translational termination. However, in the Ws ecotype, a functional terpene synthase that localizes to the chloroplast is encoded at this locus. It can catalyze the synthesis of (E)-beta-ocimene and (E,E)-alpha farnesene in vitro, but, it has more activity as an (E)-beta-ocimene synthase activity in vivo. This may reflect the greater availability of the GPP precursor of (E)-beta-ocimene than of the FPP precursor of (E,E)-alpha-farnesene in the chloroplasts where the Ws TPS02 is present.; terpene synthase 02 (TPS02); INVOLVED IN: metabolic process; EXPRESSED IN: sepal, carpel, stamen; EXPRESSED DURING: 4 anthesis, petal differentiation and expansion stage; CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: Terpene synthase, metal-binding domain (InterPro:IPR005630), Terpenoid synthase (InterPro:IPR008949), Terpenoid cylases/protein prenyltransferase alpha-alpha toroid (InterPro:IPR008930), Terpene synthase-like (InterPro:IPR001906); BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: terpene synthase 03 (TAIR:AT4G16740.1); Has 1736 Blast hits to 1706 proteins in 177 species: Archae - 0; Bacteria - 2; Metazoa - 0; Fungi - 0; Plants - 1730; Viruses - 0; Other Eukaryotes - 4 (source: NCBI BLink). & (reliability: 472.0) & (original description: no original description)
