Entry
Name
beta-phellandrene synthase (neryl-diphosphate-cyclizing);
phellandrene synthase 1;
PHS1;
monoterpene synthase PHS1
Class
Lyases;
Carbon-oxygen lyases;
Acting on phosphates
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
neryl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [cyclizing; beta-phellandrene-forming]
Reaction(IUBMB)
neryl diphosphate = beta-phellandrene + diphosphate [RN:
R09687 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
neryl diphosphate [CPD:
C02569 ]
Product
Comment
The enzyme from Solanum lycopersicum has very poor affinity with geranyl diphosphate as substrate. Catalyses the formation of the acyclic myrcene and ocimene as major products in addition to beta-phellandrene [1].
