CHEBI:63704 EXACT SEEDED

What these status tags mean

Curation status describes a workflow state. SEEDED means the record entered through the source-seeding workflow; it does not imply that no later curation occurred. PROPOSED marks an addition awaiting review; REVIEWED records curator sign-off on identity, structure, filing class and producer claims; DEPRECATED retains a superseded or out-of-scope record. These are workflow decisions, not independently verified human review. Agent-assisted contributions may appear in the record history.

Grounding describes the identifier mapping: EXACT uses an ontology identity asserted by the source; MINTED keeps a local identifier when no defensible ontology identity is available; REVIEW_NEEDED flags an exact structure whose ontology identity needs adjudication. The grounding note retains any unresolved alternatives. These tags do not establish the strength of producer or activity evidence.

A cadinane sesquiterpenoid that consists of 4-isopropyl-1,6-dimethyl-1,2,3,4,4a,7,8,8a-octahydronaphthalene having a hydroxy substituent at position 1 and (1R,4R,4aS,8aR)-configuration.

Filing pathway

Terpenoids — computed by NPClassifier npclassifier.gnps2.org@2026-09-07, which is why it is pinned rather than recomputed. The gene cluster's asserted class is terpene, from MIBiG.

Producer organisms 1

A claim that this taxon makes the compound. The basis says what the evidence addressed — a knockout and a database assertion are not the same claim.

Somebody found the compound in this organism and cited it. That is not a claim that the organism makes it, and nothing here promotes one to the other.

A locus claim and a taxon claim are different questions. Heterologous expression settles the first and leaves the second where the isolation report left it.

Biosynthesis curated

Written by a curator with claim-level evidence on each step; not derived from a source. This is what the rest of the record exists to support.

Step 1: FPP is the assayed substrate; no charge-specific substrate CURIE is assigned. This is an in-vitro step, not a demonstrated native pathway. The corresponding graph documents product stereochemical mapping. Full construct/tag sequence was not verified; canonical identity does not establish construct equivalence.

Purified recombinant Rcas_0622 from Roseiflexus castenholzii DSM 13941, expressed in E. coli BL21. The canonical accession grounds the protein reference; full construct/tag sequence is unverified. No native-production, physical-complex, or organism-specific Mg-binding claim is added. The supplementary spectra were inaccessible; the main text and Figure 1 were inspected.

    Sequence comparison: A7NH01 equals the paper-named WP_012119179.1, this strain-specific deposit and the independent translation of complement(CP000804.1:820924..821904). The RefSeq protein is nonredundant at species level; the deposit supplies strain context.

    Figure 1 atom mapping: paper 10,7,6,1 correspond to definition positions 1,4,4a,8a. The reported 1R,6S,7R,10R thus agrees with owner 1R,4R,4aS,8aR. RDKit 2024.03.5 confirms connectivity, all four configurations and the unchanged InChI/InChIKey LHYHMMRYTDARSZ-KBUPBQIOSA-N. This is curator identity mapping, not independent spectrum reanalysis.
