ENTRY EC 3.1.7.3
NAME Monoterpenyl-pyrophosphatase
Bornyl pyrophosphate hydrolase
CLASS Hydrolases
Acting on ester bonds
Diphosphoric monoester hydrolases
SYSNAME Monoterpenyl-diphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase
REACTION Monoterpenyl diphosphate + H2O = Monoterpenol + Pyrophosphate
SUBSTRATE Monoterpenyl diphosphate
H2O
PRODUCT Monoterpenol
Pyrophosphate
COMMENT A group of enzymes with varying specificity for the monoterpenol
moiety. One has the highest activity on sterically-hindered
compounds such as (+)-bornyl diphosphate; another has highest
activity on the diphosphates of primary allylic alcohols such as
geraniol.
