KEGG   ENZYME: 4.2.3.149
Entry
EC 4.2.3.149                Enzyme                                 
Name
nephthenol synthase;
DtcycA (gene name);
DtcycB (gene name)
Class
Lyases;
Carbon-oxygen lyases;
Acting on phosphates
Sysname
geranylgeranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [(R)-nephthenol-forming]
Reaction(IUBMB)
geranylgeranyl diphosphate + H2O = (R)-nephthenol + diphosphate [RN:R10897]
Reaction(KEGG)
R10897
Substrate
geranylgeranyl diphosphate [CPD:C00353];
H2O [CPD:C00001]
Product
(R)-nephthenol [CPD:C20923];
diphosphate [CPD:C00013]
Comment
Requires Mg2+. Two isozymes with this activity were isolated from the bacterium Streptomyces sp. SANK 60404. The enzyme encoded by the DtcycA gene also produces cembrene C (see EC 4.2.3.148, cembrene C synthase), while the enzyme encoded by the DtcycB gene also produces (R)-cembrene A and (1S,4E,8E,12E)-2,2,5,9,13-pentamethylcyclopentadeca-4,8,12-trien-1-ol (see EC 4.2.3.150, cembrene A synthase, and EC 4.2.3.151, pentamethylcyclopentadecatrienol synthase).
