EC 4.2.3.35 Details
EC number
4.2.3.35
Accepted name
syn-pimara-7,15-diene synthase
Reaction
9α-copalyl diphosphate = 9β-pimara-7,15-diene + diphosphate
Other name(s)
9β-pimara-7,15-diene synthase, OsDTS2, OsKS4
Systematic name
9α-copalyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (9β-pimara-7,15-diene-forming)
Comment
This enzyme is a class I terpene synthase [1]. 9β-Pimara-7,15-diene is a precursor of momilactones A and B, rice diterpenoid phytoalexins that are produced in response to attack (by a pathogen, elicitor or UV irradiation) and are involved in the defense mechanism of the plant. Momilactone B can also act as an allochemical, being constitutively produced in the root of the plant and secreted to the rhizosphere where it suppresses the growth of neighbouring plants and soil microorganisms [1].
