Thujopsene synthase

Definition:

EC Tree > 4 Lyases > 4.2 Carbon-oxygen lyases > 4.2.3 Acting on phosphates > 4.2.3.79 thujopsene synthase
Thujopsene synthase from Arabidopsis thaliana produces 27.3% (+)-alpha-barbatene, 17.8% (+)-thujopsene and 9.9% (+)-beta-chamigrene plus traces of other sesquiterpenoids (see EC 4.2.3.69 and EC 4.2.3.78). It cyclizes (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate into (+)-thujopsene and diphosphate. Structurally it is a sesquiterpene cyclase.
