Neopentalenolactone D synthase

Class of enzymes From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Neopentalenolactone D synthase (EC 1.14.13.171, ptlE (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name 1-deoxy-11-oxopentalenate,NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase (neopentalenolactone-D forming).[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

The four substrates of this enzyme are 1-deoxy-11-oxopentalenic acid, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), oxygen, and a proton. It products are neopentalenolactone D, oxidised NADP+, and water.[2] The starting ketone is made as part of a biosynthetic pathway in Streptomyces avermitilis which leads to pentalenolactone and related compounds.[1][3]

The enzyme is a Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase that uses flavin adenine dinucleotide as a cofactor.[1]
