Glossary:

(+)-exo-β-bergamotene = β-trans-bergamotene = (1S,5S,6R)-6-methyl-2-methylidene-6-(4-methylpent-3-enyl)bicyclo[3.1.1]heptane
fumagillin = (2E,4E,6E,8E)-10-({(3R,4S,5S,6R)-5-methoxy-4-[(2R,3R)-2-methyl-3-(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)oxiran-2-yl]-1-oxaspiro[2.5]oct-6-yl}oxy)-10-oxodeca-2,4,6,8-tetraenoate

Systematic name:

(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [(+)-exo-β-bergamotene-forming]

Comments:

The enzyme, characterized from the mold Aspergillus fumigatus, participates in the biosynthesis of the meroterpenoid fumagillin.
