(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate
cubebol + diphosphate
-
conversion of (6E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate proceeds via an (E,E)-germacradienyl carbocation
main products at pH 8.0 are 29.3% (-)-germacrene D, 28.2% cubebol, 10.4% delta-cadinene, at pH 10.0 is 91% (-)-germacrene D, at pH 5.0 84% (-)-germacrene D plus 12% delta-cadinene

Cop4 is a catalytically promiscuous enzyme that cyclizes (E,E)-farnesyl diphophate into multiple products, including (-)-germacrene D and cubebol (major products). Conversion of (E,E)-farnesyl diphophate by Cop4 proceeds via an (E,E)-germacradienyl carbocation. Cop4 cyclizes (2Z,6E)-farnesyl diphophate via a (6S)-beta-bisabolyl cation intermediate to (6S)-beta-bisabolene. Cop4 converts E-geranyl diphophate into cyclic and acyclic monoterpenes. Cop4 also cyclizes nerolidyl diphosphate. Under alkaline (pH 10) or acidic (pH 5.0) conditions, Cop4 becomes a very selective germacrene D synthase

Cop4 rearranges a secondary cisoid, allylic cation derived from farnesyl diphophate after isomerization (cis-trans pathway of catalysis) into multiple products, with delta-cadinene and beta-copaene as the major products when expressed in Escherichia coli
