ENZYME entry: EC 1.21.3.6

Accepted Name
aureusidin synthase
Reaction catalysed
  • 2',4,4',6'-tetrahydroxychalcone 4'-O-beta-D-glucoside + H(+) + O2 <=> aureusidin 6-O-beta-glucoside + H2O
  • 2 2',3,4,4',6'-pentahydroxychalcone 4'-O-beta-D-glucoside + 2 H(+) + O2 <=> 2 aureusidin 6-O-beta-glucoside + 2 H2O
  • 2',3,4,4',6'-pentahydroxychalcone 4'-O-beta-D-glucoside + H(+) + O2 <=> bracteatin 6-O-beta-glucoside + H2O
Comment(s)
  • Plays a key role in the yellow coloration of flowers such as Antirrhinum majus (snapdragon).
  • The enzyme is a homolog of plant polyphenol oxidase and catalyzes 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 mainly act on the 4'-O-beta-glucoside in vivo.
