geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [cyclizing, (+)-alpha-pinene-forming]
Cyclase I of Salvia officinalis (sage) gives about equal parts (+)-alpha-pinene and (+)-camphene, whereas cyclase III gives about equal parts of (+)-alpha-pinene and (+)-beta-pinene. (3R)-Linalyl diphosphate can also be used by the enzyme in preference to (3S)-linalyl diphosphate. The 4-pro-R-hydrogen of geranyl diphosphate is lost. Requires Mg2+ (preferred to Mn2+) [1-4]. With synthase II of Pinus taeda (loblolly pine) (+)-alpha-pinene was the only product [5,6]. Requires Mn2+ (preferred to Mg2+). See also EC 4.2.3.122, (+)-beta-pinene synthase, and EC 4.2.3.116, (+)-camphene synthase.
