EC 3.1.2.31 Details
EC number
3.1.2.31
Accepted name
dihydromonacolin L-[lovastatin nonaketide synthase] thioesterase
Reaction
dihydromonacolin L-[lovastatin nonaketide synthase] + H2O = holo-[lovastatin nonaketide synthase] + dihydromonacolin L acid
Other name(s)
LovG
Systematic name
dihydromonacolin L-[lovastatin nonaketide synthase] hydrolase
Comment
Dihydromonacolin L acid is synthesized while bound to an acyl-carrier protein domain of the lovastatin nonaketide synthase (EC 2.3.1.161). Since that enzyme lacks a thioesterase domain, release of the dihydromonacolin L acid moiety from the polyketide synthase requires this dedicated enzyme.
