ENZYME entry: EC 4.2.3.22

Accepted Name
germacradienol synthase
Alternative Name(s)
germacradienol/germacrene-D synthase
Reaction catalysed
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + H2O <=> (1E,4S,5E,7R)-germacra-1(10),5-dien-11-ol + diphosphate
Comment(s)
  • H-1si of farnesyl diphosphate is lost in the formation of (1E,4S,5E,7R)-germacra-1(10),5-dien-11-ol.
  • Formation of (-)-germacrene D involves a stereospecific 1,3-hydride shift of H-1si of farnesyl diphosphate.
  • Both products are formed from a common intermediate.
  • The enzyme mediates a key step in the biosynthesis of geosmin (see EC 4.1.99.16), a widely occurring metabolite of many streptomycetes, bacteria and fungi.
  • Also catalyzes the reaction of EC 4.2.3.75.
