| UniProt functional annotation for Q9K499 | |||
| UniProt code: Q9K499. |
| Organism: | Streptomyces coelicolor (strain ATCC BAA-471 / A3(2) / M145). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Streptomycetales; Streptomycetaceae; Streptomyces; Streptomyces albidoflavus group. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes the cyclization of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) to the sesquiterpene epi-isozizaene. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16669656}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate = (+)-epi-isozizaene + diphosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:25992, ChEBI:CHEBI:33019, ChEBI:CHEBI:51458, ChEBI:CHEBI:175763; EC=4.2.3.37; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:16669656}; Name=Mn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29035; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:16669656}; Name=Fe(3+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29034; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:16669656}; Note=Binds 3 Mg(2+) ions per subunit. Can also use Mn(2+) and Fe(3+) but less efficiently, and other divalent cations such as Zn(2+), Fe(2+), Co(2+), Cu(2+) and Ni(2+) are nearly completely inefficient as cofactors. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16669656}; | |
| Biophysicochemical properties: | Kinetic parameters: KM=147 nM for FPP {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16669656}; | |
| Pathway: | Sesquiterpene biosynthesis; epi-isozizaene biosynthesis. | |
| Domain: | The Asp-Asp-Xaa-Xaa-Asp/Glu (DDXXD/E) motif is important for the catalytic activity, presumably through binding to Mg(2+). | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the terpene synthase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
