Sysname
avermitilol hydrolase (cyclizing, avermitilol-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + H2O = avermitilol + diphosphate [RN:
R09896 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
Product
Comment
Requires Mg2+. The recombinent enzyme gives avermitilol (85%) plus traces of germacrene A, germacrene B and viridiflorol. The (1S)-hydrogen of farnesyl diphosphate is retained.
