KEGG   ENZYME: 4.2.3.90
Entry
EC 4.2.3.90                 Enzyme                                 
Name
5-epi-alpha-selinene synthase;
8a-epi-alpha-selinene synthase;
NP1
Class
Lyases;
Carbon-oxygen lyases;
Acting on phosphates
Sysname
(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, 5-epi-alpha-selinene-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate = 5-epi-alpha-selinene + diphosphate [RN:R09890]
Reaction(KEGG)
R09890
Substrate
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate [CPD:C00448]
Product
5-epi-alpha-selinene [CPD:C20163];
diphosphate [CPD:C00013]
Comment
Requires Mg2+. The enzyme forms 5-epi-alpha-selinene possibly via germecrene A or a 1,6-hydride shift mechanism.
