| Pyrimidodiazepine synthase.
|
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| A pyrimidodiazepine + glutathione disulfide + H(2)O <=> 6-pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin + 2 glutathione |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- In the reverse direction of reaction, the reduction of 6-pyruvoyl-
tetrahydropterin is accompanied by the opening of the 6-membered
pyrazine ring and the formation of the 7-membered diazepine ring.
- The pyrimidodiazepine involved is an acetyldihydro derivative.
- Involved in the formation of the eye pigment drosopterin in
Drosophila melanogaster.
