EC 1.14.13.107     
Accepted name: limonene 1,2-monooxygenase
Reaction: (1) (S)-limonene + NAD(P)H + H+ + O2 = 1,2-epoxymenth-8-ene + NAD(P)+ + H2O
(2) (R)-limonene + NAD(P)H + H+ + O2 = 1,2-epoxymenth-8-ene + NAD(P)+ + H2O

Glossary: limonene = a monoterpenoid
(S)-limonene = (-)-limonene
(R)-limonene = (+)-limonene
limonene-1,2-epoxide = 1,2-epoxymenth-8-ene = 1-methyl-4-(prop-1-en-2-yl)-7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane
Systematic name: limonene,NAD(P)H:oxygen oxidoreductase
Comments: A flavoprotein (FAD). Limonene is the most widespread terpene and is formed by more than 300 plants. Rhodococcus erythropolis DCL14, a Gram-positive bacterium, is able to grow on both (S)-limonene and (R)-limonene as the sole source of carbon and energy. NADPH can act instead of NADH, although more slowly. It has not been established if the product formed is optically pure or a mixture of two enantiomers.

EC 1.14.14.53     
Accepted name: (R)-limonene 6-monooxygenase
Reaction: (R)-limonene + [reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + O2 = (+)-trans-carveol + [oxidized NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + H2O

Other name(s): (+)-limonene-6-hydroxylase; (+)-limonene 6-monooxygenase
Systematic name: (R)-limonene,[reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen oxidoreductase (6-hydroxylating)
Comments: The reaction is stereospecific with over 95% yield of (+)-trans-carveol from (R)-limonene. (S)-Limonene, the substrate for EC 1.14.14.51, (S)-limonene 6-monooxygenase, is not a substrate. Forms part of the carvone biosynthesis pathway in Carum carvi (caraway) seeds.

EC 4.2.3.20     
Accepted name: (R)-limonene synthase
Reaction: geranyl diphosphate = (R)-limonene + diphosphate
For diagram of carvone biosynthesis, click here
Glossary: (R)-limonene = (+)-limonene
Other name(s): (+)-limonene synthase; geranyldiphosphate diphosphate lyase [(+)-(R)-limonene-forming]; geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [cyclizing, (+)-(4R)-limonene-forming]
Systematic name: geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [cyclizing, (R)-limonene-forming]
Comments: Forms the first step of carvone biosynthesis in caraway. The enzyme from Carum carvi (caraway) seeds requires a divalent metal ion (preferably Mn2+) for catalysis. This enzyme occurs in Citrus, Carum (caraway) and Anethum (dill); (-)-limonene, however, is made in the fir, Abies, and mint, Mentha, by EC 4.2.3.16, (4S)-limonene synthase.
