additional information | the two polymorphisms within the active site of VvGuaS compared to VvPNSeInt (EC 4.2.3.86) correspond to T414S and V530M substitutions | Vitis vinifera |
T414S | site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows altered substrate specificity compared to the wild-type enzyme | Vitis vinifera |
T414S/V530M | site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows a guaiene synthase activity that is almost completely compromised, with only 5% of the volatile products comprising alpha-guaiene, and alpha-bulnesene not detectable. Instead, the major products are predominantly the 6,6 bicyclic sesquiterpenes selina-4,11-diene (40%), alpha-selinene (23%), epi-alpha-selinene (12%), and a hydroxylated selinene (9%) with the same reported RI as intermedeo | Vitis vinifera |
V530M | site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows altered substrate specificity compared to the wild-type enzyme | Vitis vinifera |

additional information | GC-MS libraries enable identification of the major products as alpha-guaiene (44%) and alpha-bulnesene (35%, also known as delta-guaiene). A number of minor products are also produced, putatively annotated as epiglobulol, gamma-gurjunene, and pogostol, that also exhibit the characteristic guaiene-type 5,7 bicyclic carbon skeleton of the peppery aroma compound rotundone.

additional information | the T414 and V530 residues both contribute to the internal binding site of farnesyl diphosphate and are located on separate alpha-helices that contribute to the formation of the internal cavity comprising the FPP substrate-binding site. Molecular modelling of the two enzymes, selinene synthase (EC 4.2.3.86) and alpha-guayene synthase (EC 4.2.3.87) based on the TEAS template structure reveals that two of the varying amino acid positions are directly located in the active site, proximal to the location of FPP binding and subsequent catalysis, while the other four amino acid differences are located more peripherally, structure-function analysis | Vitis vinifera |
physiological function | the enzyme produces alpha-guaiene, a precursor of rotundone | Vitis vinifera |
