IUBMB Comments

The enzyme synthesizes a mixture of sesquiterpenoids from (2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate. Following dephosphorylation of (2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate, the (2Z,6Z)-farnesyl carbocation is converted to either the (6R)- or the (6S)-bisabolyl cations depending on the stereochemistry of the 6,1 closure. The (6R)-bisabolyl cation will then lead to the formation of (+)-α-santalene (see EC 4.2.3.50), while the (6S)-bisabolyl cation will give rise to (-)-endo-α-bergamotene (see EC 4.2.3.54), as well as (+)-endo-β-bergamotene. Small amounts of (-)-epi-β-santalene are also formed from the (6R)-bisabolyl cation and small amounts of (-)-exo-α-bergamotene are formed from the (6S)-bisabolyl cation .

The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Solanum habrochaites
