4.2.3.221

Accepted name:

macrophomene synthase

Reaction:

all-trans-hexaprenyl diphosphate = macrophomene + diphosphate

Glossary:

macrophomene = (1S,22R)-tricyclo[20.1.0^1,22]docosa-2,6,10,14,18-pentaene

Other name(s):

MpMS

Systematic name:

pentaprenyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [cyclizing, macrophomene-forming]

Comments:

Isolated from Macrophomina phaseolina, a pathogenic fungus that causes damping off, seedling blight, collar rot, stem rot, charcoal rot, basal stem rot, and root rot on many plant species. The 22-membered ring in macrophomene represents the largest macrocycle discovered in terpenes so far.
