The conserved chemistry of the Isoprenoid Synthase Type I superfamily involves the formation of a carbocation by release of a pyrophosphate group. A common DDXXD sequence motif is used to bind the diphosphate moiety of substrates via Mg2+, facilitating pyrophosphate release. Members share a common fold, termed the terpenoid synthase fold in SCOP. Many characterized enzymes in this superfamily are known to be promiscuous. Note: Some enzymes in this superfamily may also have a domain that is a member of the Isoprenoid Synthase Type II superfamily.
