Enzyme Information

Chrysanthemyl diphosphate synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q7XYS8
2 dimethylallyl diphosphate = diphosphate + chrysanthemyl diphosphate.
-!- Chrysanthemyl diphosphate is a monoterpene with a non-head-to-tail linkage; it is unlike most monoterpenoids, which are derived from geranyl diphosphate and have isoprene units that are linked head- to-tail. -!- The mechanism of its formation is similar to that of the early steps of squalene and phytoene biosynthesis. -!- Chrysanthemyl diphosphate is the precursor of chrysanthemic acid, the acid half of the pyrethroid insecticides found in chrysanthemums.

Dimethylallyltranstransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q7XYS8
Dimethylallyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + geranyl diphosphate.
-!- Will not accept larger prenyl diphosphates as efficient donors.

| 2.5.1.69 |
Lavandulyl diphosphate synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q7XYS8
2 dimethylallyl diphosphate = diphosphate + lavandulyl diphosphate.
-!- Lavandulyl diphosphate is a monoterpene with a non-head-to-tail linkage; it is unlike most monoterpenoids, which are derived from geranyl diphosphate and have isoprene units that are linked head- to-tail. -!- When this enzyme is incubated with dimethylallyl diphosphate and isopentenyl diphosphate, it also forms the regular monoterpene geranyl diphosphate. -!- The enzyme from Artemisia tridentata (big sagebrush) forms both lavandulyl diphosphate and chrysanthemyl diphosphate (see EC 2.5.1.67) when dimethylally diphosphate is the sole substrate.

Dimethylallyltranstransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q7XYS9
Dimethylallyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + geranyl diphosphate.
-!- Will not accept larger prenyl diphosphates as efficient donors.
|
| 2.5.1.10 |
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q7XYS9
Geranyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate = diphosphate + (2E,6E)- farnesyl diphosphate.
-!- Some forms of this enzyme will also use dimethylallyl diphosphate as a substrate. -!- The enzyme will not accept larger prenyl diphosphates as efficient donors.
