Plant Name: C7E5V7
Terpene synthases genes
Entry C7E5V7
Entry NameFARS_ZEAMM
Sequence Statusreviewed
Protein Name(E)-beta-farnesene synthase (EC 4.2.3.47) (Terpene synthase 10)
Sequence Length534
Gene Name
OrganismZea mays subsp. mexicana (Mexican teosinte)
EC Number4.2.3.47
Protein FunctionFUNCTION: Sesquiterpene cyclase catalyzing the production of beta-farnesene and alpha-bergamotene in equal amounts from farnesyl diphosphate. Involved in indirect defense by producing volatile signals attracting natural enemies of herbivores. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19646721}.
PathwayPATHWAY: Secondary metabolite biosynthesis; terpenoid biosynthesis.
Protein Active Site
Reference19646721
DomainDOMAIN: The Asp-Asp-Xaa-Xaa-Asp/Glu (DDXXD/E) motif is important for the catalytic activity, presumably through binding to Mg(2+).
MotifMOTIF 287 291 DDXXD motif.
