| 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 1.14.13.106, epi-isozizaene 5-monooxygenase, to produce the sesquiterpene antibiotic albaflavenone [2].
