FunFam 47: Terpene synthase

Please note: GO annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

There are 5 GO terms relating to "molecular function"

The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.
GO Term Annotations Evidence
Sesquiterpene synthase activity GO:0010334
Catalysis of the reaction: trans,trans-farnesyl diphosphate = a sesquiterpene + diphosphate. Sesquiterpenes are terpenes containing three isoprene units, i.e. 15 carbons.
2 Q54P86 (/IDA) Q7KWU0 (/IDA)
Terpene synthase activity GO:0010333
Catalysis of the formation of cyclic terpenes through the cyclization of linear terpenes (e.g. isopentenyl-PP, geranyl-PP, farnesyl-PP and geranylgeranyl-PP) containing varying numbers of isoprene units.
1 Q54TW4 (/IDA)
(2S,3R,6S,9S)-(-)-protoillud-7-ene synthase activity GO:0061923
Catalysis of the reaction: 2-trans,6-trans-farnesyl diphosphate = diphosphate + (2S,3R,6S,9S)-(-)-protoillud-7-ene.
1 Q54P86 (/IDA)
Beta-pinacene synthase activity GO:0106100
Catalysis of the cyclization of geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP) to yield the monocyclic diterpene beta-pinacene.
1 Q54TW4 (/IDA)
(3S)-(+)-asterisca-2(9),6-diene synthase activity GO:0120086
Catalysis of the reaction: 2-trans,6-trans-farnesyl diphosphate = diphosphate + (3S)-(+)-asterisca-2(9),6-diene
1 Q7KWU0 (/IDA)

GO Term Annotations Evidence
Sesquiterpene biosynthetic process GO:0051762
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of sesquiterpenes, any of a class of terpenes of the formula C15H24 or a derivative of such a terpene.
2 Q54P86 (/TAS) Q7KWU0 (/TAS)
Terpene biosynthetic process GO:0046246
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of terpenes, any of a large group of hydrocarbons made up of isoprene units.
1 Q54TW4 (/TAS)
