EC	6.3.2.40
Accepted name:	cyclopeptine synthase
Reaction:	2 ATP + S-adenosyl-L-methionine + anthranilate + L-phenylalanine = cyclopeptine + 2 AMP + 2 diphosphate + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine
Glossary:	cyclopeptine = (3S)-3-benzyl-4-methyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-dione 4′-methoxycyclopeptine = (3S)-3-(4-methoxybenzyl)-4-methyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-dione
Systematic name:	S-adenosyl-L-methionine:anthranilate:L-phenylalanine ligase (cyclopeptine-forming)
Comments:	Cyclopeptine synthase is the key enzyme of benzodiazepine alkaloid biosynthesis in several fungi species. The enzyme is a non-ribosomal peptide synthase. It is also active with O-methyl-L-tyrosine forming 4′-methoxycyclopeptine.
