KEGG   ENZYME: 2.5.1.70
Entry
EC 2.5.1.70                 Enzyme                                 
Name
naringenin 8-dimethylallyltransferase;
N8DT;
dimethylallyl-diphosphate:naringenin 8-dimethylallyltransferase
Class
Transferases;
Transferring alkyl or aryl groups, other than methyl groups;
Transferring alkyl or aryl groups, other than methyl groups (only sub-subclass identified to date)
Sysname
prenyl-diphosphate:naringenin 8-prenyltransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
prenyl diphosphate + (-)-(2S)-naringenin = diphosphate + sophoraflavanone B [RN:R08951]
Reaction(KEGG)
R08951
Substrate
prenyl diphosphate [CPD:C00235];
(-)-(2S)-naringenin [CPD:C00509]
Product
diphosphate [CPD:C00013];
sophoraflavanone B [CPD:C18023]
Comment
Requires Mg2+. This membrane-bound protein is located in the plastids [2]. In addition to naringenin, the enzyme can prenylate several other flavanones at the C-8 position, but more slowly. Along with EC 1.14.14.142 (8-dimethylallylnaringenin 2'-hydroxylase) and EC 2.5.1.71 (leachianone-G 2''-dimethylallyltransferase), this enzyme forms part of the sophoraflavanone-G-biosynthesis pathway.
