Many lines of evidence suggest that the cyclases ((+){minus}bornyl pyrophosphate cyclases and ({minus}){minus}limonene cyclases) catalyze the rate-limiting steps of monoterpene biosynthesis in sage and mint, respectively. Similar evidence indicates that camphor hydroxylase, and the reductases that control the disposition of methone, are the critical steps of monoterpene catabolism in these systems. Related studies, based on in vitro assay of enzyme activities, have suggested that the accumulation and the compartmentation of these processes. Further studies directed toward localizing the pathways and determining the relevant protein and transcript levels require pure enzymes for antibody preparation and amino determining the relevant protein and transcript levels require pure enzymes for antibody preparation and amino acid sequence determination.
