This family consists of several fungal trichodiene synthase proteins (EC:4.2.3.6). TRI5 encodes the enzyme trichodiene synthase, which has been shown to catalyse the first step in the trichothecene pathways of Fusarium and Trichothecium species [1,2].
trichodiene synthase (TS) is a member of the Isoprenoid Synthase Type I superfamily. The formation of trichodiene is the first committed step in the biosynthesis of trichothecenes produced by fungi. Trichothecenes are sesquiterpenoid toxins that act by inhibiting protein biosynthesis.
