KEGG   ENZYME: 4.2.3.49
Entry
EC 4.2.3.49                 Enzyme                                 
Name
(3R,6E)-nerolidol synthase;
terpene synthase 1
Class
Lyases;
Carbon-oxygen lyases;
Acting on phosphates
Sysname
(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [(3R,6E)-nerolidol-forming]
Reaction(IUBMB)
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + H2O = (3R,6E)-nerolidol + diphosphate [RN:R09618]
Reaction(KEGG)
R09618
Substrate
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate [CPD:C00448];
H2O [CPD:C00001]
Product
(3R,6E)-nerolidol [CPD:C19746];
diphosphate [CPD:C00013]
Comment
The enzyme catalyses a step in the formation of (3E)-4,8-dimethylnona-1,3,7-triene, a key signal molecule in induced plant defense mediated by the attraction of enemies of herbivores [1]. Nerolidol is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene found in the essential oils of many types of plants.

  Title
The maize gene terpene synthase 1 encodes a sesquiterpene synthase catalyzing the formation of (E)-beta-farnesene, (E)-nerolidol, and (E,E)-farnesol after herbivore damage.
