2.5.1.139 |
Accepted name: |
umbelliferone 6-dimethylallyltransferase |
Reaction: |
prenyl diphosphate + umbelliferone = diphosphate + demethylsuberosin |
Glossary: |
demethylsuberosin = 7-hydroxy-6-prenyl-1-benzopyran-2-one
osthenol = 7-hydroxy-8-prenyl-1-benzopyran-2-one |
Other name(s): |
PcPT; dimethylallyl-diphosphate:umbelliferone 6-dimethylallyltransferase |
Systematic name: |
prenyl-diphosphate:umbelliferone 6-prenyltransferase |
Comments: |
The enzyme from parsley (Petroselinum crispum) is specific for umbelliferone and prenyl diphosphate. A minor product is osthenol, which is produced by transfer of the prenyl group to C-8 of umbelliferone. |
