ID 1.1.1.394 DE aurachin B dehydrogenase. CA aurachin B + H2O + NAD(+) = 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-3-oxo-[(2E,6E)-farnesyl]- CA 3,4-dihydroquinoline 1-oxide + NADH. CC -!- The enzyme from the bacterium Stigmatella aurantiaca catalyzes the CC final step in the conversion of aurachin C to aurachin B. CC -!- In vivo the enzyme catalyzes the reduction of 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-3- CC oxo-4-[(2E,6E)-farnesyl]-3,4-dihydroquinoline-1-oxide to form CC 2-methyl-1-oxo-4-[(2E,6E)-farnesyl]-3,4-dihydroquinoline-3,4-diol CC (note that the reactions written above proceed from right to left), CC which then undergoes a spontaneous dehydration to form aurachin B.
