General annotation (Comments)

Function

Tow-domain protein where the N-terminal domain catalyzes the cyclization of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) to a 85:15 mixture of the sesquiterpene alcohol germacradienol and the sesquiterpene hydrocarbon germacrene D. The C-terminal domain partially converts the germacradienol formed into geosmin, the characteristic odoriferous ('earthy aroma') constituent of Streptomyces species. Ref.2 Ref.3 Ref.4 Ref.5

Catalytic activity

(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + H2O = (1E,4S,5E,7R)-germacra-1(10),5-dien-11-ol + diphosphate. Ref.2

(1E,4S,5E,7R)-germacra-1(10),5-dien-11-ol + H2O = (-)-geosmin + acetone. Ref.2

(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate = (-)-germacrene D + diphosphate. Ref.2

Cofactor

Magnesium. Fe2+ or Cu2+ ions are very less efficient as cofactors. Ref.2 Ref.5

Pathway

Secondary metabolite biosynthesis; geosmin biosynthesis.

Sesquiterpene biosynthesis; germacradienol biosynthesis; germacradienol from farnesyl diphosphate: step 1/1.

Sesquiterpene biosynthesis; germacrene D biosynthesis; germacrene D from farnesyl diphosphate: step 1/1.

Domain

Consists of 2 homologous sesquiterpene synthase domains. The Asp-Asp-Xaa-Xaa-Asp/Glu (DDXXD/E) motif is important for the catalytic activity, presumably through binding to Mg2+. Ref.2 Ref.3

Miscellaneous

The earthy odorant geosmin is also responsible for the 'off-flavor' of contaminated drinking water, wines, and other foodstuffs.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the terpene synthase family.

Caution

It is uncertain whether the initial Met is cleaved or not.

Biophysicochemical properties

Kinetic parameters:

KM=62 nM for FPP Ref.2
