EC 4.2.3.127 Details
EC number
4.2.3.127
Accepted name
β-copaene synthase
Reaction
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate = β-copaene + diphosphate
Other name(s)
cop4
Systematic name
(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, β-copaene-forming)
Comment
Isolated from the fungus Coprinus cinereus. The enzyme also forms (+)-δ-cadinene, β-cubebene, (+)-sativene and traces of several other sequiterpenoids [1-3]. β-Copaene is formed in the presence of Mg2+ but not Mn2+ [2]. See EC 4.2.3.13, (+)-δ-cadinene synthase, EC 4.2.3.128, β-cubebene synthase, and EC 4.2.3.129, (+)-sativene synthase.
