N2 - Terpene synthases (TS) catalyze complex reactions to produce a diverse array of terpene skeletons from linear isoprenyl diphosphates. Patchoulol synthase (PTS) from Pogostemon cablin converts farnesyl diphosphate into patchoulol. Using simulation-guided engineering, we obtained PTS variants that eliminate water capture. Further, we demonstrate that modifying the structurally conserved Hα-1 loop also reduces hydroxylation in PTS, as well as in germacradiene-11-ol synthase (Gd11olS), leading to cyclic neutral intermediates as products, including α-bulnesene (PTS) and isolepidozene (Gd11olS). Hα-1 loop modification could be a general strategy for engineering sesquiterpene synthases to produce complex cyclic hydrocarbons without the need for structure determination or modeling.
