FunFam 568: Tricyclene synthase 1e20, chloroplastic

There are 3 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Tricyclene synthase. [EC: 4.2.3.105]
Geranyl diphosphate = tricyclene + diphosphate.
  • The enzyme from Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) gives a mixture of tricyclene, camphene, beta-myrcene, limonene, and traces of several other monoterpenoids.
  • See EC 4.2.3.117, EC 4.2.3.15 and EC 4.2.3.16.
 3 Q84NC8 Q84NC9 Q84ND0
Myrcene synthase. [EC: 4.2.3.15]
Geranyl diphosphate = myrcene + diphosphate.
  • Mg(2+) is essentially ineffective as the divalent metal ion cofactor.
  • Formerly EC 4.1.99.9.
 2 Q84NC9 Q84ND0
(E)-beta-ocimene synthase. [EC: 4.2.3.106]
Geranyl diphosphate = (E)-beta-ocimene + diphosphate.
  • Widely distributed in plants, which release beta-ocimene when attacked by herbivorous insects.
