ENZYME

ENZYME entry: EC 2.1.1.69

Accepted Name
5-hydroxyfuranocoumarin 5-O-methyltransferase
Alternative Name(s)
bergaptol 5-O-methyltransferase
bergaptol methyltransferase
bergaptol O-methyltransferase
BMT
furanocoumarin 5-methyltransferase
furanocoumarin 5-O-methyltransferase
Reaction catalysed
  • a 5-hydroxyfurocoumarin + S-adenosyl-L-methionine <=> a 5-methoxyfurocoumarin + H(+) + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine
  • bergaptol + S-adenosyl-L-methionine <=> bergapten + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine
Comment(s)
  • Converts bergaptol into bergapten, which has therapeutic potential in the treatment of psoriasis as it has photosensitizing and antiproliferative activities.
  • Methylates the 5-hydroxy group of some hydroxy- and methylcoumarins, such as 5-hydroxyxanthotoxin, but has little activity on non-coumarin phenols; caffeate, 5-hydroxyferulate and daphnetin are not substrates.
  • Cu(2+), Zn(2+) and Co(2+) cause enzyme inhibition.
  • See also EC 2.1.1.70.
  • Formerly EC 2.1.1.92.
