KEGG   ENZYME: 4.2.3.132
Entry
EC 4.2.3.132                Enzyme                                 
Name
neoabietadiene synthase;
TPS-LAS
Class
Lyases;
Carbon-oxygen lyases;
Acting on phosphates
Sysname
(+)-copaly-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, neoabietadiene-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
(+)-copalyl diphosphate = neoabietadiene + diphosphate [RN:R06303]
Reaction(KEGG)
R06303
Substrate
(+)-copalyl diphosphate [CPD:C11901]
Product
neoabietadiene [CPD:C11880];
diphosphate [CPD:C00013]
Comment
Isolated from Abies grandis (grand fir) [1]. This class I enzyme forms about equal proportions of abietadiene, levopimaradiene and neoabietadiene. See also EC 4.2.3.18, abieta-7,13-diene synthase and EC 4.2.3.32, levopimaradiene synthase. An X-ray study of this multifunctional enzyme showed that the class I activity is in the alpha domain, while (+)-copalyl diphosphate synthase activity (EC 5.5.1.12, a class II activity) is in the beta and gamma domains [2]. In Pinus taeda (loblolly pine) the major product is levopimaradiene, with less abietadiene and neoabietadiene [3].
