1.1.1.325

Accepted name:

sepiapterin reductase (L-threo-7,8-dihydrobiopterin-forming)

Reaction:

(1) L-threo-7,8-dihydrobiopterin + NADP⁺ = sepiapterin + NADPH + H⁺
(2) L-threo-tetrahydrobiopterin + 2 NADP⁺ = 6-pyruvoyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin + 2 NADPH + 2 H⁺

Glossary:

sepiapterin = 2-amino-6-lactoyl-7,8-dihydropteridin-4(3H)-one
tetrahydrobiopterin = 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin = 2-amino-6-(1,2-dihydroxypropyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropteridin-4(3H)-one

Systematic name:

L-threo-7,8-dihydrobiopterin:NADP⁺ oxidoreductase

Comments:

This enzyme, isolated from the bacterium Chlorobium tepidum, catalyses the final step in the de novo synthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin from GTP. cf. EC 1.1.1.153, sepiapterin reductase (L-erythro-7,8-dihydrobiopterin-forming).
