|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| Berberine bridge enzyme. |
| Berberine-bridge-forming enzyme. |
| Tetrahydroprotoberberine synthase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| (S)-reticuline + O(2) <=> (S)-scoulerine + H(2)O(2) |
| Cofactor(s) |
|---|
| FAD.
|
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- The product of the reaction, (S)-scoulerine, is a precursor of
protopine, protoberberine and benzophenanthridine alkaloid
biosynthesis in plants.
- Acts on (S)-reticuline and related compounds, converting the N-methyl
group into the methylene bridge ('berberine bridge') of
(S)-tetrahydroprotoberberines.
- Formerly EC 1.5.3.9.
