BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [(+)-epi-isozizaene-forming]
Reaction(IUBMB)
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate = (+)-epi-isozizaene + diphosphate [RN:
R07830 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate [CPD:
C00448 ]
Product
Comment
Requires Mg2+ for activity. The displacement of the diphosphate group of farnesyl diphosphate occurs with retention of configuration [1]. In the soil-dwelling bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), the product of this reaction is used by EC
1.14.15.39 , epi-isozizaene 5-monooxygenase, to produce the sesquiterpene antibiotic albaflavenone [2].
