5.4.99.17 | evolution |
squalene hopene cyclases are class II triterpene synthases that use a proton-initiated cationic polycyclization cascade to form carbopolycyclic products. The class II mechanism involves the Broensted acid sequence motif DxDD, catalytic mechanism compared to terpene cyclases, overview |

5.4.99.17 | malfunction |
inactivation of slr2089 leads to accumulation of squalene to a level over 70times higher than in wild-type cells, but no significant growth deficiency in the DELTAshc strain occur compared to the wild-type Synechocystis even at high light conditions |
