1.1.1.319

Accepted name:

isoeugenol synthase

Reaction:

isoeugenol + acetate + NADP⁺ = coniferyl acetate + NADPH + H⁺

Other name(s):

IGS1; t-anol/isoeugenol synthase 1

Systematic name:

eugenol:NADP⁺ oxidoreductase (coniferyl acetate reducing)

Comments:

The enzyme acts in the opposite direction. In Ocimum basilicum (sweet basil), Clarkia breweri and Petunia hybrida only isoeugenol is formed [1,2]. However in Pimpinella anisum (anise) only anol is formed in vivo, although the cloned enzyme does produce isoeugenol [3].
