EC 4.2.3.103     
Accepted name: ent-isokaurene synthase
Reaction: ent-copalyl diphosphate = ent-isokaurene + diphosphate
For diagram of biosynthesis of diterpenoids from ent-copalyl diphosphate, click here and for diagram of ent-kaurene and ent-isokaurene, click here
Other name(s): OsKSL5i; OsKSL6
Systematic name: ent-copalyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, ent-isokaurene-forming)
Comments: Two enzymes of the rice sub-species Oryza sativa ssp. indica, OsKSL5 and OsKSL6, produce ent-isokaurene. A variant of OsKSL5 from the sub-species Oryza sativa ssp. japonica produces ent-pimara-8(14),15-diene instead [cf. EC 4.2.3.30, ent-pimara-8(14),15-diene synthase].
