EC 4.2.3.49 Details
EC number
4.2.3.49
Accepted name
(3R,6E)-nerolidol synthase
Reaction
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + H2O = (3R,6E)-nerolidol + diphosphate
Other name(s)
terpene synthase 1
Systematic name
(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [(3R,6E)-nerolidol-forming]
Comment
The enzyme catalyses a step in the formation of (3E)-4,8-dimethylnona-1,3,7-triene, a key signal molecule in induced plant defense mediated by the attraction of enemies of herbivores [1]. Nerolidol is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene found in the essential oils of many types of plants.
