EC 1.14.15.13 Details
EC number
1.14.15.13
Accepted name
pulcherriminic acid synthase
Reaction
cyclo(L-leucyl-L-leucyl) + 6 reduced ferredoxin + 3 O2 = pulcherriminic acid + 6 oxidized ferredoxin + 4 H2O
Other name(s)
cyclo-L-leucyl-L-leucyl dipeptide oxidase, CYP134A1, CypX (ambiguous)
Systematic name
cyclo(L-leucyl-L-leucyl),reduced-ferredoxin:oxygen oxidoreductase (N-hydroxylating,aromatizing)
Comment
A heme-thiolate (P-450) enzyme from the bacterium Bacillus subtilis. The order of events during the overall reaction is unknown. Pulcherrimic acid spontaneously forms an iron chelate with Fe(3+) to form the red pigment pulcherrimin [2].
