== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/TRI5_FUSSP 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.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Trichodiene synthase is a terpenoid cyclase that catalyzes the cyclization of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) to form the bicyclic sesquiterpene hydrocarbon trichodiene (89%), at least five sesquiterpene side products (11%), and inorganic pyrophosphate (PP(i)). Incubation of trichodiene synthase with 2-fluorofarnesyl diphosphate or 4-methylfarnesyl diphosphate similarly yields sesquiterpene mixtures despite the electronic effects or steric bulk introduced by substrate derivatization. The versatility of the enzyme is also demonstrated in the 2.85A resolution X-ray crystal structure of the complex with Mg(2+) (3)-PP(i) and the benzyl triethylammonium cation, which is a bulkier mimic of the bisabolyl carbocation intermediate in catalysis. Taken together, these findings show that the active site of trichodiene synthase is sufficiently flexible to accommodate bulkier and electronically-diverse substrates and intermediates, which could indicate additional potential for the biosynthetic utility of this terpenoid cyclase.
