4.2.3.135 |
| Accepted name: |
Δ6-protoilludene synthase |
| Reaction: |
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate = Δ6-protoilludene + diphosphate |
| Glossary: |
Δ6-protoilludene = (4aS,7aS,7bR)-3,6,6,7b-tetramethyl-2,4,4a,5,6,7,7a,7b-octahydro-1H-cyclobuta[1,2-e]indene |
| Other name(s): |
6-protoilludene synthase |
| Systematic name: |
(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, Δ6-protoilludene-forming) |
| Comments: |
Isolated from the fungus Armillaria gallica. Δ6-Protoilludene is the first step in the biosynthesis of the melleolides. |
