EC 2.5.1.92 Details
EC number
2.5.1.92
Accepted name
(2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate synthase
Reaction
dimethylallyl diphosphate + 2 isopentenyl diphosphate = 2 diphosphate + (2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate;;(1a) dimethylallyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + neryl diphosphate;;(1b) neryl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + (2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate
Other name(s)
cis,cis-farnesyl diphosphate synthase, Z,Z-FPP synthase, zFPS, Z,Z-farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase
Systematic name
dimethylallyl-diphosphate:isopentenyl-diphosphate cistransferase (adding 2 isopentenyl units)
Comment
This enzyme, originally characterized from wild tomato, specifically forms (2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate via neryl diphosphate and isopentenyl diphosphate. In wild tomato it is involved in the biosynthesis of several sesquiterpenes. See also EC 2.5.1.68 [(2Z,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate synthase] and EC 2.5.1.10 [(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate synthase].
