KEGG   ENZYME: 2.3.1.220
Entry
EC 2.3.1.220                Enzyme                                 
Name
2,4,6-trihydroxybenzophenone synthase;
benzophenone synthase (ambiguous);
BPS (ambiguous)
Class
Transferases;
Acyltransferases;
Transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups
Sysname
malonyl-CoA:benzoyl-CoA malonyltransferase (2,4,6-trihydroxybenzophenone-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
3 malonyl-CoA + benzoyl-CoA = 4 CoA + 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzophenone + 3 CO2 [RN:R02447]
Reaction(KEGG)
R02447
Substrate
malonyl-CoA [CPD:C00083];
benzoyl-CoA [CPD:C00512]
Product
CoA [CPD:C00010];
2,4,6-trihydroxybenzophenone [CPD:C06356];
CO2 [CPD:C00011]
Comment
Involved in the biosynthesis of plant xanthones. The enzyme from the plant Hypericum androsaemum L can use 3-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA instead of benzoyl-CoA, but with lower activity (cf. EC 2.3.1.151, 2,3',4,6-tetrahydroxybenzophenone synthase).
