4.2.3.51 |
Accepted name: |
β-phellandrene synthase (neryl-diphosphate-cyclizing) |
Reaction: |
neryl diphosphate = β-phellandrene + diphosphate |
Other name(s): |
phellandrene synthase 1; PHS1; monoterpene synthase PHS1 |
Systematic name: |
neryl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [cyclizing; β-phellandrene-forming] |
Comments: |
The enzyme from Solanum lycopersicum has very poor affinity with geranyl diphosphate as substrate. Catalyses the formation of the acyclic myrcene and ocimene as major products in addition to β-phellandrene [1]. |

Monoterpenes in the glandular trichomes of tomato are synthesized from a neryl diphosphate precursor rather than geranyl diphosphate. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 106 (2009) 10865–10870.
