Abstract:
1. DNA encoding a chimeric isoprenoid sesquiterpene synthase polypeptide, that comprises: a first isoprenoid sesquiterpene synthase polypeptide domain joined to a second different isoprenoid sesquiterpene synthase polypeptide domain, interrupted by or including a ratio determinant domain, whereby the chimeric isoprenoid sesquiterpene synthase polypeptide encoded by the DNA catalyzes the production of at least one isoprenoid sesquiterpene synthase reaction product that is not produced in the absence of the second isoprenoid sesquiterpene synthase polypeptide and another isoprenoid sesquiterpene synthase reaction product that is produced in the absence of the second sesquiterpene synthase polypeptide domain.
