Glossary: |
cyclo(L-leucyl-L-leucyl) = (3S,6S)-3,6-bis(2-methylpropyl)piperazine-2,5-dione
pulcherriminic acid = 2,5-dihydroxy-3,6-bis(2-methylpropyl)pyrazine bis-N-oxide |
Other name(s): |
cyclo-L-leucyl-L-leucyl dipeptide oxidase; CYP134A1; CypX (ambiguous) |
Systematic name: |
cyclo(L-leucyl-L-leucyl),reduced-ferredoxin:oxygen oxidoreductase (N-hydroxylating,aromatizing) |
Comments: |
A heme-thiolate (P-450) enzyme from the bacterium Bacillus subtilis. The order of events during the overall reaction is unknown. Pulcherrimic acid spontaneously forms an iron chelate with Fe(3+) to form the red pigment pulcherrimin [2]. |

Glossary: |
cyclo(L-leucyl-L-leucyl) = (3S,6S)-3,6-bis(2-methylpropyl)piperazine-2,5-dione |
Other name(s): |
YvmC; cLL synthase; cyclodileucine synthase |
Systematic name: |
L-leucyl-tRNALeu:L-leucyl-tRNALeu leucyltransferase (cyclizing) |
Comments: |
The reaction proceeds following a ping-pong mechanism forming a covalent intermediate between an active site serine and the first L-leucine residue [2]. The proteins from bacteria of the genus Bacillus also form small amounts of cyclo(L-phenylalanyl-L-leucyl) and cyclo(L-leucyl-L-methionyl) [1]. |
