In enzymology, an ent-kaurene synthase (EC 4.2.3.19) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

ent-copalyl diphosphate ent-kaurene + diphosphate

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, ent-copalyl diphosphate, and two products, ent-kaurene and diphosphate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically those carbon-oxygen lyases acting on phosphates. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ent-copalyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, ent-kaurene-forming). Other names in common use include ent-kaurene synthase B, ent-kaurene synthetase B, ent-copalyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase, and (cyclizing). This enzyme participates in diterpenoid biosynthesis.

In Stevia

In Stevia spp., KS is a required part of the biosynthesis of steviol.[1][2] Hajihashemi et al., 2013 find that KS is involved in the drought stress response and – because it mimics drought stress – paclobutrazol toxicity.[1][2] Both inhbit transcription of steviol glycoside synthesis genes including KS.[1][2] This is believed to reduce steviol content in the final plant product.[1][2]
