Title:
NOVEL POLYPEPTIDES FOR PRODUCING ALBICANOL AND/OR DRIMENOL COMPOUNDS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/105236
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel plant-derived haloacid dehalogenase-like (HAD-like) polypeptides having cyclic terpene synthase (TPS) activity, in particular suitable for use in biochemical methods of producing drimane-type sesquiterpenes, encompassing drimenol and/or albicanol and related compounds, like phosphorylated drimane-type sesquiterpene alcohols, in particular phosphorylated drimenol and/or albicanol compounds and derivatives. The invention also provides the coding nucleotide sequences of said novel TPS activity, corresponding expression constructs, recombinant hosts, method of preparing such novel polypeptides and mutants and variants thereof. The invention also relates to the use of such novel polypeptides in the production of odorants, flavours and fragrance ingredients.
