Entry
EC 1.14.14.176              Enzyme                                 
Name
taxadiene 5alpha-hydroxylase
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
taxa-4,11-diene,[reduced NADPH---hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen oxidoreductase (5alpha-hydroxylating)
Reaction(IUBMB)
taxa-4,11-diene + [reduced NADPH---hemoprotein reductase] + O2 = taxa-4(20),11-dien-5alpha-ol + [oxidized NADPH---hemoprotein reductase] + H2O [RN:R06306]
Reaction(KEGG)
R06306
Substrate
taxa-4,11-diene [CPD:C11894];
[reduced NADPH---hemoprotein reductase] [CPD:C03024];
O2 [CPD:C00007]
Product
taxa-4(20),11-dien-5alpha-ol [CPD:C11895];

H2O [CPD:C00001]
Comment
This microsomal cytochrome-P-450 (heme-thiolate) enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of the diterpenoid antineoplastic drug taxol (paclitaxel). The reaction includes rearrangement of the 4(5)-double bond to a 4(20)-double bond, possibly through allylic oxidation.
