KEGG   ENZYME: 4.2.3.108
Entry
EC 4.2.3.108                Enzyme                                 
Name
1,8-cineole synthase;
1,8-cineole cyclase;
geranyl pyrophoshate:1,8-cineole cyclase;
1,8-cineole synthetase
Class
Lyases;
Carbon-oxygen lyases;
Acting on phosphates
Sysname
geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, 1,8-cineole-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
geranyl diphosphate + H2O = 1,8-cineole + diphosphate [RN:R09964]
Reaction(KEGG)
R09964;
(other) R06421 R06422
Substrate
geranyl diphosphate [CPD:C00341];
H2O [CPD:C00001]
Product
1,8-cineole [CPD:C09844];
diphosphate [CPD:C00013]
Comment
Requires Mn2+ or Zn2+. Mg2+ is less effective than either. 1,8-Cineole is the main product from the enzyme with just traces of other monoterpenoids. The oxygen atom is derived from water. The reaction proceeds via linalyl diphosphate and alpha-terpineol, the stereochemistry of both depends on the organism. However neither intermediate can substitute for geranyl diphosphate. The reaction in Salvia officinalis (sage) proceeds via (-)-(3R)-linalyl diphosphate [1-3] while that in Arabidopsis (rock cress) proceeds via (+)-(3S)-linalyl diphosphate [4].
