EC 4.2.1.183

Accepted name: etheroleic acid synthase

Reaction: (9Z,11E,13S)-13-hydroperoxy-9,11-octadecadienoate = (9Z,11E)-12-[(1E)-hex-1-en-1-yloxy]dodeca-9,11-dienoate + H2O

Glossary: (9Z,11E)-12-[(1E)-hex-1-en-1-yloxy]dodeca-9,11-dienoic acid = etheroleic acid
(9Z,11E,13S)-13-hydroperoxy-9,11-octadecadienoic acid = 13(S)-HPOD

Other name(s): colneleic acid/etheroleic acid synthase; 13/9-DES; 9/13-DES; 13/9-divinyl ether synthase; (9Z,11E)-12-[(1E)-hex-1-en-1-yloxy]dodeca-9,11-dienoate synthase

Systematic name: (9Z,11E,13S)-13-hydroperoxy-9,11-octadecadienoate lyase

Comments: A heme-thiolate protein (P-450) occurring in several plants, including Allium sativum (garlic) and Selaginella moellendorffii (spikemoss). The enzyme also catalyses the reaction of EC 4.2.1.121, colneleate synthase, to a lesser extent.
