EC 4.2.3.154 Details
EC number
4.2.3.154
Accepted name
demethyl-4-deoxygadusol synthase
Reaction
D-sedoheptulose 7-phosphate = demethyl-4-deoxygadusol + phosphate + H2O
Other name(s)
Nos2 (gene name), Anb2 (gene name)
Systematic name
D-sedoheptulose-7-phosphate phosphate-lyase (cyclizing; demethyl-4-deoxygadusol-forming)
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the cyanobacterium Nostoc punctiforme PCC 73102, is involved in the biosynthesis of the sunscreen compound shinorine. It requires a divalent metal ion (Zn2+ or Co2+) and an NAD+ cofactor, which is transiently reduced during the reaction. cf. EC 4.2.3.152, 2-epi-5-epi-valiolone synthase and EC 4.2.3.155, 2-epi-valiolone synthase.
