Interpro abstract (IPR005630): | Sequences containing this domain belong to the terpene synthase family. It has been suggested that this gene family be designated tps (for terpene synthase). Sequence comparisons reveal similarities between the monoterpene (C 10 ) synthases, sesquiterpene (C 15 ) synthases and the diterpene (C 20 ) synthases. It has been split into six subgroups on the basis of phylogeny, called Tpsa-Tpsf [ (PUBMED:9268308) ].
In the fungus Phaeosphaeria sp. (strain L487) the synthesis of ent-kaurene from geranylgeranyl dophosphate is promoted by a single bifunctional protein [ (PUBMED:9268298) ]. This domain is involved in the cyclization of linear terpenes [ (PUBMED:9295272) (PUBMED:12432096) (PUBMED:17261032) (PUBMED:20131801) (PUBMED:20624401) ]. |
GO function: | magnesium ion binding (GO:0000287), lyase activity (GO:0016829), terpene synthase activity (GO:0010333) |
