Entry
EC 4.2.3.40                 Enzyme                                 
Name
(Z)-gamma-bisabolene synthase
Class
Lyases;
Carbon-oxygen lyases;
Acting on phosphates
Sysname
(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [(Z)-gamma-bisabolene-forming]
Reaction(IUBMB)
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate = (Z)-gamma-bisabolene + diphosphate [RN:R09620]
Reaction(KEGG)
R09620
Substrate
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate [CPD:C00448]
Product
(Z)-gamma-bisabolene [CPD:C16814];
diphosphate [CPD:C00013]
Comment
This sesquiterpenoid enzyme is constitutively expressed in the root, hydathodes and stigma of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana. If the leaves of the plant are wounded, e.g. by cutting, the enzyme is also induced close to the wound site. The sesquiterpenoids (E)-nerolidol and alpha-bisabolol are also produced by this enzyme as minor products.
