Title Oryzalexin S biosynthesis: a cross-stitched disappearing pathway.
Abstract:
Rice produces many diterpenoid phytoalexins and, reflecting the importance of these natural products in this important cereal crop plant, its genome contains three biosynthetic gene clusters (<i>BGCs</i>) for such metabolism. The chromosome 4 <i>BGC</i> (<i>c4BGC</i>) is largely associated with momilactone production, in part due to the presence of the initiating <i>syn</i>-copalyl diphosphate (CPP) synthase gene (<i>OsCPS4</i>). Oryzalexin S is also derived from <i>syn</i>-CPP. However, the relevant subsequently acting <i>syn</i>-stemarene synthase gene (<i>OsKSL8</i>) is not located in the <i>c4BGC</i>. Production of Oryzalexin S further requires hydroxylation at carbons 2 and 19 (C2 and C19), presumably catalyzed by cytochrome P450 (CYP) monooxygenases. Here it is reported the closely related CYP99A2 and CYP99A3, whose genes are also found in the <i>c4BGC</i> catalyze the necessary C19-hydroxylation, while the closely related CYP71Z21 and CYP71Z22, whose genes are found in the recently reported chromosome 7 <i>BGC</i> (<i>c7BGC</i>), catalyze subsequent hydroxylation at C2&#x3b1;. Thus, Oryzalexin S biosynthesis utilizes two distinct <i>BGCs</i>, in a pathway cross-stitched together by <i>OsKSL8</i>. Notably, in contrast to the widely conserved <i>c4BGC</i>, the <i>c7BGC</i> is subspecies (ssp.) specific, being prevalent in ssp. japonica and only rarely found in the other major ssp. indica. Moreover, while the closely related <i>syn</i>-stemodene synthase <i>OsKSL11</i> was originally considered to be distinct from <i>OsKSL8</i>, it has now been reported to be a ssp. indica derived allele at the same genetic loci. Intriguingly, more detailed analysis indicates that <i>OsKSL8(j)</i> is being replaced by <i>OsKSL11</i> (<i>OsKSL8i</i>), suggesting introgression from ssp. indica to (sub)tropical japonica, with concurrent disappearance of Oryzalexin S production.
