Structural highlights
Function
TRI5_FUSSP TS is a member of the terpene cyclase group of enzymes. It catalyzes the isomerization and cyclization of farnesyl pyro-phosphate to form trichodiene, the first cyclic intermediate in the biosynthetic pathway for trichothecenes. It serves to branch trichothecene biosynthesis from the isoprenoid pathway.
