KEGG   ENZYME: 4.2.3.93
Entry
EC 4.2.3.93                 Enzyme                                 
Name
delta-guaiene synthase
Class
Lyases;
Carbon-oxygen lyases;
Acting on phosphates
Sysname
(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, delta-guaiene-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate = delta-guaiene + diphosphate [RN:R09893]
Reaction(KEGG)
R09893
Substrate
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate [CPD:C00448]
Product
delta-guaiene [CPD:C20174];
diphosphate [CPD:C00013]
Comment
Requires Mg2+. In Aquilaria crassna three clones of the enzyme gave about 80% delta-guaiene and 20% alpha-guaiene (see also EC 4.2.3.87). A fourth clone gave 54% delta-guaiene and 45% alpha-guaiene [2].
The enzyme from Pogostemon cablin gives 13% delta-guaiene as well as 37% (-)-patchoulol (see EC 4.2.3.70), 13% alpha-guaiene (see EC 4.2.3.87), and traces of at least ten other sesquiterpenoids [1].
