Name
(-)-endo-alpha-bergamotene synthase [(2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate cyclizing];
SBS (ambiguous)
Class

Acting on phosphates
Sysname
(2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate lyase [cyclizing; (-)-endo-alpha-bergamotene-forming]
Reaction(IUBMB)
(2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate = (-)-endo-alpha-bergamotene + diphosphate [RN:R09607]
Reaction(KEGG)
R09607
Substrate
(2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate [CPD:C19760]
Product
(-)-endo-alpha-bergamotene [CPD:C19735];
diphosphate [CPD:C00013]
Comment
The enzyme synthesizes a mixture of sesquiterpenoids from (2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate. Following dephosphorylation of (2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate, the (2Z,6Z)-farnesyl carbocation is converted to either the (6R)- or the (6S)-bisabolyl cations depending on the stereochemistry of the 6,1 closure. The (6R)-bisabolyl cation will then lead to the formation of (+)-alpha-santalene (see EC 4.2.3.50), while the (6S)-bisabolyl cation will give rise to (+)-endo-beta-bergamotene (EC 4.2.3.53) as well as (-)-endo-alpha-bergamotene. Small amounts of (-)-epi-beta-santalene are also formed from the (6R)-bisabolyl cation and small amounts of (-)-exo-alpha-bergamotene are formed from the (6S)-bisabolyl cation [1].
