Terpene synthases, crucial enzymes in terpenoid biosynthesis, have been extensively studied across various organisms, including plants, bacteria, fungi, non–seed land plants, red algae, amoebae, insects, corals, and sponges.1-9 Recently, we characterized a viral class I terpene synthase, OILTS,10 discovered through genome mining of a giant virus Orpheovirus IHUMI–LCC2.11 OILTS, phylogenetically isolated from terpene synthases from cellular organisms, exhibits a compact and simple structure,10...
