IUBMB Comments

Requires Mg2+. The enzyme from Salvia officinalis (sage) can also use (3R)-linalyl diphosphate or more slowly neryl diphosphate in vitro . The reaction proceeds via isomeration of geranyl diphosphate to (3R)-linalyl diphosphate. The oxygen and phosphorus originally linked to C-1 of geranyl diphosphate end up linked to C-2 of (+)-bornyl diphosphate . cf. EC 5.5.1.22 [(–)-bornyl diphosphate synthase].

The enzyme appears in viruses and cellular organisms

Synonyms
bornyl diphosphate synthase, (+)-bornyl diphosphate synthase, geranyl pyrophosphate:(+)-bornyl pyrophosphate cyclase, (di)terpene synthase, more
