The terpene synthases are structurally and mechanistically very closely related to the IPPS. A number of these enzymes have been cloned and overexpressed from plant sources (Chappell 1995) thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana), whose genome is now fully sequenced, has 32 functional terpene synthase DNA sequences in its genome (Aubourg et al. 2002). Conserved amino acid sequences, particularly DDxxD motifs for binding of Mg + and pyrophosphate in the substrates, are common and allow terpene synthases from a wide variety of sources to be identified by sequence similarity searches (Bohlmann et al. 1998). Sequence analysis of the genes which encode known terpene synthases in plants has enabled them to be grouped into six subfamilies whose members each share >40% sequence identity.
