2.1.1.110

Accepted name:

sterigmatocystin 8-O-methyltransferase

Reaction:

(1) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + sterigmatocystin = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 8-O-methylsterigmatocystin
(2) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + dihydrosterigmatocystin = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 8-O-methyldihydrosterigmatocystin

sterigmatocystin = 3a,12c-dihydro-8-hydroxy-6-methoxyfuro[3′,2′:4,5]furo[2,3-c]xanthen-7-one
dihydrosterigmatocystin = 1,2,3a,12c-tetrahydro-8-hydroxy-6-methoxyfuro[3′,2′:4,5]furo[2,3-c]xanthen-7-one
8-O-methylsterigmatocystin = 6,8-dimethoxy-3a,12c-dihydrofuro[3′,2′:4,5]furo[2,3-c]xanthen-7-one
8-O-methyldihydrosterigmatocystin = 6,8-dimethoxy-1,2,3a,12c-tetrahydrofuro[3′,2′:4,5]furo[2,3-c]xanthen-7-one

Other name(s):

sterigmatocystin methyltransferase; O-methyltransferase II; sterigmatocystin 7-O-methyltransferase (incorrect); S-adenosyl-L-methionine:sterigmatocystin 7-O-methyltransferase (incorrect); OmtA

Systematic name:

S-adenosyl-L-methionine:sterigmatocystin 8-O-methyltransferase

Comments:

Dihydrosterigmatocystin can also act as acceptor. Involved in the biosynthesis of aflatoxins in fungi.
