KEGG   ENZYME: 4.2.3.101
Entry
EC 4.2.3.101                Enzyme                                 
Name
7-epi-sesquithujene synthase;
TPS4-B73
Class
Lyases;
Carbon-oxygen lyases;
Acting on phosphates
Sysname
(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (7-epi-sesquithujene-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate = 7-epi-sesquithujene + diphosphate [RN:R09901]
Reaction(KEGG)
R09901
Substrate
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate [CPD:C00448]
Product
7-epi-sesquithujene [CPD:C20177];
diphosphate [CPD:C00013]
Comment
The enzyme from Zea mays, variety B73, gives mainly 7-epi-sesquithujene with (S)-beta-bisabolene and traces of other sesquiterpenoids, cf. EC 4.2.3.55 (S)-beta-bisabolene synthase. It requires Mg2+ or Mn2+. The product ratio is dependent on which metal ion is present. 7-epi-Sesquithujene is an attractant for the emerald ash borer beetle.
