EC | 2.3.1.217 | ||||||
Accepted name: | curcumin synthase | ||||||
Reaction: | feruloyl-CoA + feruloylacetyl-CoA + H2O = 2 CoA + curcumin + CO2 | ||||||

Glossary: | curcumin = (1E,6E)-5-hydroxy-1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)hepta-1,4,6-trien-3-one feruloylacetyl-CoA = feruloyl-diketide-CoA |
||||||
Other name(s): | CURS; CURS1 (gene name); CURS2 (gene name); CURS3 (gene name) | ||||||
Systematic name: | feruloyl-CoA:feruloylacetyl-CoA feruloyltransferase (curcumin-forming) | ||||||
Comments: | A polyketide synthase from the plant Curcuma longa (turmeric). Three isoforms exist, CURS1, CURS2 and CURS3. While CURS1 and CURS2 prefer feruloyl-CoA as a starter substrate, CURS3 can accept 4-coumaroyl-CoA equally well [2] (see EC 2.3.1.219, demethoxycurcumin synthase). | ||||||

EC | 2.3.1.218 | ||||||
Accepted name: | phenylpropanoylacetyl-CoA synthase | ||||||
Reaction: | (1) feruloyl-CoA + malonyl-CoA = feruloylacetyl-CoA + CO2 + CoA (2) 4-coumaroyl-CoA + malonyl-CoA = (4-coumaroyl)acetyl-CoA + CO2 + CoA |

Glossary: | feruloylacetyl-CoA = feruloyl-diketide-CoA (4-coumaroyl)acetyl-CoA = 4-coumaroyl-diketide-CoA phenylpropanoylacetyl-CoA = phenylpropanoyl-diketide-CoA |
||||||
Other name(s): | phenylpropanoyl-diketide-CoA synthase; DCS | ||||||
Systematic name: | phenylpropanoyl-CoA:malonyl-CoA phenylpropanoyl-transferase (decarboxylating) | ||||||
Comments: | The enzyme has been characterized from the plant Curcuma longa (turmeric). It prefers feruloyl-CoA, and has no activity with cinnamoyl-CoA. | ||||||

Other name(s): | CURS3 | ||||||
Systematic name: | 4-coumaroyl-CoA:feruloylacetyl-CoA feruloyltransferase (demethoxycurcumin-forming) | ||||||
Comments: | A polyketide synthase from the plant Curcuma longa (turmeric). Three isoforms exist, CURS1, CURS2 and CURS3. While CURS1 and CURS2 prefer feruloyl-CoA as a starter substrate (cf. EC 2.3.1.217, curcumin synthase), CURS3 can accept 4-coumaroyl-CoA equally well [1]. | ||||||
