| Accepted name: |
pyrimidodiazepine synthase |
| Reaction: |
2-amino-6-acetyl-3,7,8,9-tetrahydro-3H-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepin-4-one + glutathione disulfide + H2O = 6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin + 2 glutathione |

| Glossary: |
2-amino-6-acetyl-3,7,8,9-tetrahydro-3H-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepin-4-one = pyrimidodiazepine |
| Other name(s): |
PDA synthase; pyrimidodiazepine:oxidized-glutathione oxidoreductase (ring-opening, cyclizing); pyrimidodiazepine:glutathione-disulfide oxidoreductase (ring-opening, cyclizing) |
| Systematic name: |
2-amino-6-acetyl-3,7,8,9-tetrahydro-3H-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepin-4-one:glutathione-disulfide oxidoreductase (ring-opening, cyclizing) |
| Comments: |
In the reverse direction, the reduction of 6-pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin is accompanied by the opening of the 6-membered pyrazine ring and the formation of the 7-membered diazepine ring. The pyrimidodiazepine formed is an acetyldihydro derivative. Involved in the formation of the eye pigment drosopterin in Drosophila melanogaster. |
