Crystal structure of a chimeric FPP/GFPP synthase (TARGET EFI-502313c) from Artemisia spiciformiS (1-72:GI751454468,73-346:GI75233326), apo structure

Function

[CHRDS_ARTSI] Condenses two molecules of dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) to produce mainly an irregular monoterpene, chrysanthemyl diphosphate (CPP) and lower amounts of a branched monoterpene, lavandulyl diphosphate (LPP). CPP is a precursor of the pyrethrin insecticides. When incubated with isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and DMAPP, catalyzes three competing isoprenoid condensation reactions, a chain elongation to give geranyl diphosphate (GPP), a cyclopropanation to give CPP and a branching to give LPP.^[1]
