ID   1.14.19.69
DE   biflaviolin synthase.
AN   CYP158A2.
CA   (1) 2 flaviolin + H(+) + O2 + 2 reduced [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin] =
CA   3,3'-biflaviolin + 2 H2O + 2 oxidized [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin].
CA   (2) 2 flaviolin + H(+) + O2 + 2 reduced [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin] =
CA   3,8'-biflaviolin + 2 H2O + 2 oxidized [2Fe-2S]-[ferredoxin].
CC   -!- This cytochrome-P450 (heme-thiolate) enzyme, from the soil-dwelling
CC       bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), catalyzes a phenol oxidation
CC       C-C coupling reaction, which results in the polymerization of
CC       flaviolin to form biflaviolin or triflaviolin without the
CC       incorporation of oxygen into the product.
CC   -!- The products are highly conjugated pigments that protect the
CC       bacterium from the deleterious effects of UV irradiation.
CC   -!- Formerly EC 1.14.21.7.
