Geranyl pyrophosphate: 1,8-cineole cyclase (cineole synthase) catalyzes the conversion of geranyl pyrophosphate to the symmetrical monoterpene ether 1,8-cineole (1,3,3-trimethyl-2-oxabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) by a process thought to involve the initial isomerization of the substrate to the tertiary allylic isomer, linalyl pyrophosphate, and cyclization

A prenyltransferase purified from the commercial rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis, that elongates existing cis-polyisoprene rubber molecules also catalyzes the formation of all trans-farnesyl pyrophosphate (t,t-FPP) from dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP) and isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP). In assays of the latter activity trans-geranyl

A soluble enzyme preparation from the leaves of sweet marjoram (Majorana hortensis Moench) catalyzes the divalent cation-dependent cyclization of [1-3H]geranyl pyrophosphate to the bicyclic monoterpene alcohols (+)-[6-3H]cis- and (+)-[6-3H]-transsabinene hydrate, providing labeling patterns consistent with current mechanistic considerations.
