Glossary: |
somaliensene A = (1S,5R,6R)-6-methyl-6-[(3E,7E,11E)-trimethyltrideca-3,7,11-trien-1-yl]bicyclo[3.1.1]hept-2-ene |
Other name(s): |
stsC (gene name) |
Systematic name: |
geranylfarnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, somaliensene A-forming) |
Comments: |
A sesterterpenoid synthase enzyme isolated from the bacterium Streptomyces somaliensis. The enzyme also produces somalensene B (cf. EC 4.2.3.217, somaliensene B synthase). |
