Sysname
2',4,4',6'-tetrahydroxychalcone 4'-O-beta-D-glucoside:oxygen oxidoreductase
Reaction(IUBMB)
(1) 2',4,4',6'-tetrahydroxychalcone 4'-O-beta-D-glucoside + O2 = aureusidin 6-O-beta-D-glucoside + H2O [RN:R08008];
(2) 2',3,4,4',6'-pentahydroxychalcone 4'-O-beta-D-glucoside + 1/2 O2 = aureusidin 6-O-beta-D-glucoside + H2O [RN:R08010];
(3) 2',3,4,4',6'-pentahydroxychalcone 4'-O-beta-D-glucoside + O2 = bracteatin 6-O-beta-D-glucoside + H2O [RN:R08009]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
2',4,4',6'-tetrahydroxychalcone 4'-O-beta-D-glucoside [CPD:C16407];
O2 [CPD:C00007];
2',3,4,4',6'-pentahydroxychalcone 4'-O-beta-D-glucoside [CPD:C16408]
Product
aureusidin 6-O-beta-D-glucoside [CPD:C16409];
H2O [CPD:C00001];
bracteatin 6-O-beta-D-glucoside [CPD:C16410]
Comment
A copper-containing glycoprotein that plays a key role in the yellow coloration of flowers such as Antirrhinum majus (snapdragon). The enzyme is a homologue of plant polyphenol oxidase [1] and catalyses two separate chemical transformations, i.e. 3-hydroxylation and oxidative cyclization (2',-dehydrogenation). H2O2 activates reaction (1) but inhibits reaction (2). Originally considered to act on the phenol but now thought to act mainly on the 4'-O-beta-D-glucoside in vivo [4].
