aristolochene synthase EC#: 4.2.3.9; ChemWhat Code: 1382555
| Product Name | aristolochene synthase |
| Example Structure |  |
| Synonyms | 5-epi-aristolochene synthase, Ari1, aristolochene synthase, AS, ATAS, cyclase, farnesyl pyrophosphate, EAS, EC 2.5.1.40, EC 4.1.99.7, farnesylpyrophosphate cyclase, FPP-carbocyclase, sesquiterpene cyclase, synthase, aristolochene, TEAS |
| EC Number | 4.2.3.9 |
| CAS Registry Number | |
| Comments | 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?[5] (see also EC?4.2.3.23, germacrene-A synthase). The enzyme from?Penicillium roqueforti?requires Mg2+?and Mn2+?for activity. Aristolochene is the likely parent compound for a number of sesquiterpenes produced by filamentous fungi. |
| Cofactor | Mn2+ Mg2+ |
| History | |
| Reactions | (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate = aristolochene + diphosphate. |
