Enzyme Information
| 4.2.3.9 | Aristolochene synthase. based on mapping to UniProt Q9UR08 (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate = aristolochene + diphosphate. -!- The initial internal cyclization produces the monocyclic intermediate germacrene A; further cyclization and methyl transfer converts the intermediate into aristolochene. -!- While in some species germacrene A remains as an enzyme-bound intermediate, it has been shown to be a minor product of the reaction in Penicillium roqueforti (see also EC 4.2.3.23). -!- Aristolochene is the likely parent compound for a number of sesquiterpenes produced by filamentous fungi. -!- Formerly EC 2.5.1.40 and EC 4.1.99.7. |
