A cytochrome P450 from juvenile mustard leaf beetles hydroxylates geraniol, a key step in iridoid biosynthesis

N. Fu, Z.-l. Yang, Y. Pauchet, C. Paetz, W. Brandt, W. Boland, A. Burse

This paper identifies and characterizes CYP6BH5 as the geraniol 8-hydroxylase in leaf beetles, showing its role in iridoid biosynthesis and substrate promiscuity.
