terpene synthase 03 | Brief Description | terpene synthase 03 |
| TAIR Computational Description | terpene synthase 03;(source:Araport11) |
| TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes an (E,E)-alpha-farnesene synthase in the Col ecotype of Arabidopsis. This enzyme can also catalyze the formation of (E)-beta-ocimene as well as trace amounts of myrcene and other related compounds in vitro. The cytosolic localization of the protein may make it favor (E,E)-alpha-farnesene biosynthesis because the precursor of this product, FPP, is primarily cytosolic. Transcript levels for this gene increase in response to treatment with the jasmonic acid mimic coronalon or in response to the insect <i>Plutella xylostella</i>. TPS03 transcripts can also be detected in flowers. A similar protein from the C24 ecotype with one amino acid change (S267F) has a different substrate specificity. |
