KEGG   ENZYME: 4.2.3.127
Entry
EC 4.2.3.127                Enzyme                                 
Name
beta-copaene synthase;
cop4
Class
Lyases;
Carbon-oxygen lyases;
Acting on phosphates
Sysname
(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, beta-copaene-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate = beta-copaene + diphosphate [RN:R10006]
Reaction(KEGG)
R10006
Substrate
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate [CPD:C00448]
Product
beta-copaene [CPD:C20274];
diphosphate [CPD:C00013]
Comment
Isolated from the fungus Coprinus cinereus. The enzyme also forms (+)-delta-cadinene, beta-cubebene, (+)-sativene and traces of several other sequiterpenoids [1-3]. beta-Copaene is formed in the presence of Mg2+ but not Mn2+ [2]. See EC 4.2.3.13, (+)-delta-cadinene synthase, EC 4.2.3.128, beta-cubebene synthase, and EC 4.2.3.129, (+)-sativene synthase.
