ENZYME entry: EC 4.2.3.7

Accepted Name
pentalenene synthase
Alternative Name(s)
pentalenene synthetase
Reaction catalysed
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate <=> diphosphate + pentalenene
Comment(s)
  • Isolated from Streptomyces avermitilis.
  • The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of pentalenolactone and related antibiotics.
  • The 9si hydrogen of farnesyl diphosphate undergoes a 1,2-hydride shift where it becomes the 1alpha hydrogen of pentalenene.
  • Formerly EC 4.6.1.5.
