(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, pentalenene-forming)
Isolated from Streptomyces avermitilis. The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of pentalenolactone and related antibiotics. The 9si hydrogen of farnesyl diphosphate undergoes a 1,2-hydride shift where it becomes the 1alpha hydrogen of pentalenene.
