The synthesis of (S)-beta-macrocarpene from (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate proceeds in two steps. The first step is the cyclization to (S)-beta-bisabolene. The second step is the isomerization to (S)-beta-macrocarpene (cf. EC 5.5.1.17, (S)-beta-macrocarpene synthase). The enzyme requires Mg2+ or Mn2+ for activity.

TPS6 requires a divalent metal ion, with Mg2+ and Mn2+ being effective, optimum activity with 5 mM Mg2+ and 5 mM Mn2+. Although the Km for Mn2+ is significantly lower than for Mg2+, the enzyme is more likely to operate with a Mg2+ cofactor in planta, because the concentration of Mg2+ in plant cells is about 2 orders of magnitudes higher than Mn2+. In the presence of Mn2+, the product spectrum of TPS6 is shifted toward an increased production of (S)-beta bisabolene and a decreased production of (S)-beta-macrocarpene. KM-value for Mg2+ measured with 0.01 mM farnesyl diphosphate: 0.131 mM

half-maximal activity at pH 6.2 and at pH 8.6, in presence of 5 mM Mg2+. Within a pH range from 5.0 to 8.0, the major product is (S)-beta-macrocarpene, but higher pH values favor the formation of (S)-beta-bisabolene
mutation reduces the production of (S)-beta-macrocarpene to trace amounts, the enzyme forms (S)-beta-bisabolene almost exclusively, the overall activity of the mutated enzyme is dramatically reduced
Protonation of a neutral (S)-beta-bisabolene intermediate is involved in (S)-beta-macrocarpene formation by the maize sesquiterpene synthases TPS6 and TPS11
