2.1.1.164

Accepted name:

demethylrebeccamycin-D-glucose O-methyltransferase

Reaction:

4′-demethylrebeccamycin + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = rebeccamycin + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine

Other name(s):

RebM

Systematic name:

S-adenosyl-L-methionine:demethylrebeccamycin-D-glucose O-methyltransferase

Comments:

Catalyses the last step in the biosynthesis of rebeccamycin, an indolocarbazole alkaloid produced by the bacterium Lechevalieria aerocolonigenes. The enzyme is able to use a wide variety substrates, tolerating variation on the imide heterocycle, deoxygenation of the sugar moiety, and even indolocarbazole glycoside anomers [1]. The enzyme is a member of the general acid/base-dependent O-methyltransferase family [2].
