2.3.1.172

Accepted name:

anthocyanin 5-O-glucoside 6′′′-O-malonyltransferase

Reaction:

malonyl-CoA + pelargonidin 3-O-(6-caffeoyl-β-D-glucoside) 5-O-β-D-glucoside = CoA + 4′′′-demalonylsalvianin

Glossary:

salvianin = pelargonidin 3-O-(6-caffeoyl-β-D-glucoside) 5-O-(4,6-di-O-malonyl-β-D-glucoside)
4′′′-demalonylsalvianin = pelargonidin 3-O-(6-caffeoyl-β-D-glucoside) 5-O-(6-O-malonyl-β-D-glucoside)
pelargonidin = 3,4′,5,7-tetrahydroxyflavylium

Systematic name:

malonyl-CoA:pelargonidin-3-O-(6-caffeoyl-β-D-glucoside)-5-O-β-D-glucoside 6′′′-O-malonyltransferase

Comments:

Specific for the penultimate step in salvianin biosynthesis. The enzyme also catalyses the malonylation of shisonin to malonylshisonin [cyanidin 3-O-(6′′-O-p-coumaryl-β-D-glucoside)-5-(6′′′-O-malonyl-β-D-glucoside)]. The compounds 4′′′-demalonylsalvianin, salvianin, pelargonidin 3,5-diglucoside and delphinidin 3,5-diglucoside cannot act as substrates.
