| Protein Name | (E)-beta-farnesene synthase (EC 4.2.3.47) (Terpene synthase 10) |
| Sequence Length | 534 |
| Gene Name | |
| Organism | Zea mays subsp. mexicana (Mexican teosinte) |
| EC Number | 4.2.3.47 |
Protein Function | FUNCTION: 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}. |
Pathway | PATHWAY: Secondary metabolite biosynthesis; terpenoid biosynthesis. |
Protein Active Site | |
Reference | 19646721 |
Domain | DOMAIN: The Asp-Asp-Xaa-Xaa-Asp/Glu (DDXXD/E) motif is important for the catalytic activity, presumably through binding to Mg(2+). |
Motif | MOTIF 287 291 DDXXD motif. |
