KEGG   ENZYME: 1.14.14.141
Entry
EC 1.14.14.141              Enzyme                                 
Name
psoralen synthase;
CYP71AJ1
Class
Oxidoreductases;
Acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen;
With reduced flavin or flavoprotein as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of oxygen into the other donor
Sysname
(+)-marmesin,[reduced NADPH---hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen oxidoreductase
Reaction(IUBMB)
(+)-marmesin + [reduced NADPH---hemoprotein reductase] + O2 = psoralen + [oxidized NADPH---hemoprotein reductase] + acetone + 2 H2O [RN:R08207]
Reaction(KEGG)
R08207
Substrate
(+)-marmesin [CPD:C09276];
[reduced NADPH---hemoprotein reductase] [CPD:C03024];
O2 [CPD:C00007]
Product
psoralen [CPD:C09305];
[oxidized NADPH---hemoprotein reductase] [CPD:C03161];
acetone [CPD:C00207];
H2O [CPD:C00001]
Comment
This microsomal cytochrome P-450 (heme-thiolate) enzyme is rather specific for (+)-marmesin, although it can also accept 5-hydroxymarmesin to a much lesser extent. Furanocoumarins protect plants from fungal invasion and herbivore attack. (+)-Columbianetin, the angular furanocoumarin analogue of the linear furanocoumarin (+)-marmesin, acts as a competitive inhibitor even though it is not a substrate.
