EC 4.2.3.203

Accepted name: isoelisabethatriene synthase

Reaction: geranylgeranyl diphosphate = isoelisabethatriene + diphosphate

Glossary: isoelisabethatriene = (1S,4R)-4,7-dimethyl-1-[(2R)-6-methylhept-5-en-2-yl]-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydronaphthalene

Other name(s): HpS (ambiguous)

Systematic name: geranylgeranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, isoelisabethatriene-forming)

Comments: Isolated from the bacterium Streptomyces clavuligerus. The 1-proR hydrogen atom of geranylgeranyl diphosphate is involved in a 1,3-hydride shift to the side-chain. The enzyme also produces hydropyrene, hydropyrenol, and traces of other diterpenoids. cf. EC 4.2.3.201, hydropyrene synthase, and EC 4.2.3.202, hydropyrenol synthase.
