EC 1.21.3.6     
Accepted name: aureusidin synthase
Reaction: (1) 2′,4,4′,6′-tetrahydroxychalcone 4′-O-β-D-glucoside + O2 = aureusidin 6-O-β-D-glucoside + H2O
(2) 2′,3,4,4′,6′-pentahydroxychalcone 4′-O-β-D-glucoside + ½ O2 = aureusidin 6-O-β-D-glucoside + H2O
(3) 2′,3,4,4′,6′-pentahydroxychalcone 4′-O-β-D-glucoside + O2 = bracteatin 6-O-β-D-glucoside + H2O

Glossary: 2′,4,4′,6′-tetrahydroxychalcone = 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-(2,4,6-trihydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one
aureusidin = 4,6-dihydroxy-2-[(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)methylidene]benzofuran-3(2H)-one
bracteatin = 4,6-dihydroxy-2-[(3,4,5-trihydroxyphenyl)methylidene]benzofuran-3(2H)-one
Other name(s): AmAS1
Systematic name: 2′,4,4′,6′-tetrahydroxychalcone 4′-O-β-D-glucoside:oxygen oxidoreductase
Comments: A copper-containing glycoprotein that plays a key role in the yellow coloration of flowers such as Antirrhinum majus (snapdragon). The enzyme is a homologue of plant polyphenol oxidase [1] and catalyses two separate chemical transformations, i.e. 3-hydroxylation and oxidative cyclization (2′,-dehydrogenation). H2O2 activates reaction (1) but inhibits reaction (2). Originally considered to act on the phenol but now thought to act mainly on the 4′-O-β-D-glucoside in vivo [4].

Glossary: naringenin chalcone = 2′,4,4′,6′-tetrahydroxychalcone = 3-(4-hydroxyphemyl)-1-(2,4,6-trihydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one
Other name(s): 4′CGT
Systematic name: UDP-α-D-glucose:2′,4,4′,6′-tetrahydroxychalcone 4′-O-β-D-glucosyltransferase
Comments: Isolated from the plant Antirrhinum majus (snapdragon). Involved in the biosynthesis of aurones, plant flavonoids that provide yellow color to the flowers.

EC 2.5.1.136     
Accepted name: 2-acylphloroglucinol 4-prenyltransferase
Reaction: prenyl diphosphate + a 2-acylphloroglucinol = diphosphate + a 2-acyl-4-prenylphloroglucinol
Glossary: naringenin chalcone = 2′,4,4′,6′-tetrahydroxychalcone = 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-(2,4,6-trihydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one
phlorisovalerophenone = 3-methyl-1-(2,4,6-trihydroxyphenyl)butan-1-one
Other name(s): PT-1 (gene name); PT1L (gene name); aromatic prenyltransferase (ambiguous); dimethylallyl-diphosphate:2-acylphloroglucinol 4-dimethylallyltransferase
Systematic name: prenyl-diphosphate:2-acylphloroglucinol 4-prenyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from hop (Humulus lupulus), acts on phlorisovalerophenone, phlormethylbutanophenone, and phlorisobutanophenone during the synthesis of bitter acids. It also acts with much lower activity on naringenin chalcone. Forms a complex with EC 2.5.1.137, 2-acyl-4-prenylphloroglucinol 6-prenyltransferase, which catalyses additional prenylation reactions. Requires Mg2+.
