Metabolite Identification
Common NameGuaia-6,10(14)-diene
DescriptionGuaia-6,10(14)-diene is a terpenoid, specifically a sesquiterpene, characterized by its unique chemical structure that includes a bicyclic framework. This compound is notable for its role as a metabolic intermediate in various biosynthetic pathways, particularly in the production of more complex natural products. It has been engineered in microbial systems such as Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae using CRISPR/Cas9 technology to enhance its production, achieving high titers (PMID:31999448 ). Additionally, guaia-6,10(14)-diene is synthesized from farnesyl diphosphate through the action of specific enzymes, including mutated and homologous enzymes from Fusaria, which facilitate its conversion (PMID:27294564 ). The absolute configuration of guaia-6,10(14)-diene has been determined through enantioselective synthesis methods, revealing a configuration that differs from that found in plants but aligns with that in Sorangium cellulosum (PMID:27294564 ). This compound's structural features and biosynthetic pathways underscore its significance in both natural product chemistry and potential applications in synthetic biology.
