EC number
4.2.3.150
Accepted name
cembrene A synthase
Reaction
geranylgeranyl diphosphate = (R)-cembrene A + diphosphate
Other name(s)
DtcycB (gene name)
Systematic name
geranylgeranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [(R)-cembrene-A-forming]
Comment
Requires Mg2+. Isolated from the bacterium Streptomyces sp. SANK 60404. This trifunctional enzyme, which contains a [4Fe-4S] cluster, also produces (R)-nephthenol and (1S,4E,8E,12E)-2,2,5,9,13-pentamethylcyclopentadeca-4,8,12-trien-1-ol. See EC 4.2.3.149, nephthenol synthase and EC 4.2.3.151, pentamethylcyclopentadecatrienol synthase.
