show Brenda entryEC number
4.2.3.79
Accepted name
thujopsene synthase
Reaction
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate = (+)-thujopsene + diphosphate
Systematic name
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate lyase (cyclizing, (+)-thujopsene-forming)
Comment
The recombinant enzyme from the plant Arabidopsis thaliana produces 27.3% (+)-α-barbatene, 17.8% (+)-thujopsene and 9.9% (+)-β-chamigrene [1] plus traces of other sesquiterpenoids [2]. See EC 4.2.3.69 (+)-α-barbatene synthase, and EC 4.2.3.78 β-chamigrene synthase.
