EC 3.1.7.3     
Accepted name: monoterpenyl-diphosphatase
Reaction: a monoterpenyl diphosphate + H2O = a monoterpenol + diphosphate

Other name(s): bornyl pyrophosphate hydrolase; monoterpenyl-pyrophosphatase
Systematic name: monoterpenyl-diphosphate diphosphohydrolase
Comments: A group of enzymes with varying specificity for the monoterpenol moiety. One has the highest activity on sterically hindered compounds such as (+)-bornyl diphosphate; another has highest activity on the diphosphates of primary allylic alcohols such as geraniol.

EC 4.2.3.108     
Accepted name: 1,8-cineole synthase
Reaction: geranyl diphosphate + H2O = 1,8-cineole + diphosphate
For diagram of menthane monoterpenoid biosynthesis, click here
Glossary: 1,8-cineole = 1,3,3-trimethyl-2-oxabicyclo[2.2.2]octane
Other name(s): 1,8-cineole cyclase; geranyl pyrophoshate:1,8-cineole cyclase; 1,8-cineole synthetase
Systematic name: geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, 1,8-cineole-forming)
Comments: Requires Mn2+ or Zn2+. Mg2+ is less effective than either. 1,8-Cineole is the main product from the enzyme with just traces of other monoterpenoids. The oxygen atom is derived from water. The reaction proceeds via linalyl diphosphate and α-terpineol, the stereochemistry of both depends on the organism. However neither intermediate can substitute for geranyl diphosphate. The reaction in Salvia officinalis (sage) proceeds via (–)-(3R)-linalyl diphosphate [1-3] while that in Arabidopsis (rock cress) proceeds via (+)-(3S)-linalyl diphosphate [4].

Reaction: geranyl diphosphate = (+)-bornyl diphosphate
For diagram of bornane and related monoterpenoids, click here
Glossary: (+)-bornyl diphosphate = (1R,2S,4R)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-yl diphosphate
Other name(s): bornyl pyrophosphate synthase (ambiguous); bornyl pyrophosphate synthetase (ambiguous); (+)-bornylpyrophosphate cyclase; geranyl-diphosphate cyclase (ambiguous); (+)-bornyl-diphosphate lyase (decyclizing)
Systematic name: (+)-bornyl-diphosphate lyase (ring-opening)
Comments: Requires Mg2+. The enzyme from Salvia officinalis (sage) can also use (3R)-linalyl diphosphate or more slowly neryl diphosphate in vitro [3]. The reaction proceeds via isomeration of geranyl diphosphate to (3R)-linalyl diphosphate. The oxygen and phosphorus originally linked to C-1 of geranyl diphosphate end up linked to C-2 of (+)-bornyl diphosphate [3]. cf. EC 5.5.1.22 [(–)-bornyl diphosphate synthase].
