EC | 2.3.1.211 | ||
Accepted name: | bisdemethoxycurcumin synthase | ||
Reaction: | 2 4-coumaroyl-CoA + malonyl-CoA + H2O = 3 CoA + bisdemethoxycurcumin + 2 CO2 | ||

Glossary: | bisdemethoxycurcumin = (1E,6E)-5-hydroxy-1,7-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)hepta-1,4,6-trien-3-one | ||
Other name(s): | CUS; curcuminoid synthase (ambiguous) | ||
Systematic name: | 4-coumaroyl-CoA:malonyl-CoA 4-coumaryltransferase (bisdemethoxycurcumin-forming) | ||
Comments: | A polyketide synthase characterized from the plant Oryza sativa (rice) that catalyses the formation of the C6-C7-C6 diarylheptanoid scaffold of bisdemethoxycurcumin. Unlike the process in the plant Curcuma longa (turmeric), where the conversion is carried out via a diketide intermediate by two different enzymes (EC 2.3.1.218, phenylpropanoylacetyl-CoA synthase and EC 2.3.1.217, curcumin synthase), the diketide intermediate formed by this enzyme remains within the enzyme’s cavity and is not released to the environment. | ||

EC | 2.3.1.218 | ||
Accepted name: | phenylpropanoylacetyl-CoA synthase | ||
Reaction: | (1) feruloyl-CoA + malonyl-CoA = feruloylacetyl-CoA + CO2 + CoA (2) 4-coumaroyl-CoA + malonyl-CoA = (4-coumaroyl)acetyl-CoA + CO2 + CoA |

Glossary: | feruloylacetyl-CoA = feruloyl-diketide-CoA (4-coumaroyl)acetyl-CoA = 4-coumaroyl-diketide-CoA phenylpropanoylacetyl-CoA = phenylpropanoyl-diketide-CoA |
||
Other name(s): | phenylpropanoyl-diketide-CoA synthase; DCS | ||
Systematic name: | phenylpropanoyl-CoA:malonyl-CoA phenylpropanoyl-transferase (decarboxylating) | ||
Comments: | The enzyme has been characterized from the plant Curcuma longa (turmeric). It prefers feruloyl-CoA, and has no activity with cinnamoyl-CoA. | ||
