EC 4.2.3.33 Details
EC number
4.2.3.33
Accepted name
stemar-13-ene synthase
Reaction
9α-copalyl diphosphate = stemar-13-ene + diphosphate
Other name(s)
OsDTC2, OsK8, OsKL8, OsKS8, stemarene synthase, syn-stemar-13-ene synthase
Systematic name
9α-copalyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (stemar-13-ene-forming)
Comment
This diterpene cyclase produces stemar-13-ene, a putative precursor of the rice phytoalexin oryzalexin S. Phytoalexins are diterpenoid secondary metabolites that are involved in the defense mechanism of the plant, and are produced in response to pathogen attack through the perception of elicitor signal molecules such as chitin oligosaccharide, or after exposure to UV irradiation.
