(2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate synthase

Enzyme (2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate synthase 2.5.1.92 (2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate synthase (2.5.1.92, cis,cis-farnesyl diphosphate synthase, Z,Z-FPP synthase, zFPS, Z,Z-farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase) is an enzyme with systematic name dimethylallyl-diphosphate:isopentenyl-diphosphate cistransferase (adding 2 isopentenyl units).Sallaud C, Rontein D, Onillon S, Jabès F, Duffé P, Giacalone C, Thoraval S, Escoffier C, Herbette G, Leonhardt N, Causse M, Tissier A A novel pathway for sesquiterpene biosynthesis from Z,Z-farnesyl pyrophosphate in the wild tomato Solanum habrochaites The Plant Cell 21 1 301–17 January 2009 19155349 2648096 10.1105/tpc.107.057885 2009PlanC..21..301S This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction dimethylallyl diphosphate + 2 isopentenyl diphosphate 2 diphosphate + (2Z,6Z)-farnesyl diphosphate This enzyme was originally characterized from the wild hairy tomato Solanum habrochaites.
