KEGG   ENZYME: 4.2.3.98
Entry
EC 4.2.3.98                 Enzyme                                 
Name
(+)-T-muurolol synthase
Class
Lyases;
Carbon-oxygen lyases;
Acting on phosphates
Sysname
(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, (+)-T-muurolol-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + H2O = (+)-T-muurolol + diphosphate [RN:R09898]
Reaction(KEGG)
R09898
Substrate
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate [CPD:C00448];
H2O [CPD:C00001]
Product
(+)-T-muurolol [CPD:C20184];
diphosphate [CPD:C00013]
Comment
The cyclization mechanism involves an intermediate nerolidyl diphosphate leading to a helminthogermacradienyl cation. After a 1,3-hydride shift of the original 1-pro-S hydrogen of farnesyl diphosphate, cyclization and deprotonation result in (+)-T-muurolol.
