ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.20.4

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/1.14.20.4
Accepted Name
anthocyanidin synthase
Alternative Name(s)
leucoanthocyanidin dioxygenase
leucocyanidin oxygenase
Reaction catalysed
a (2R,3S,4S)-leucoanthocyanidin + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 = a 4-H-anthocyanidin with a 3-hydroxy group + succinate + CO2 + 2 H2O
Comment(s)
  • Is involved in the pathway by which many flowering plants make anthocyanin flower pigments (glycosylated anthocyandins).
  • Hydroxylates the C-3 carbon, followed by a trans diaxial elimination, forming a C-2,C-3 enol.
  • The product loses a second water molecule to form anthocyanidins.
  • When assayed in vitro, non-enzymic epimerization of the product can lead to formation of dihydroflavanols.
  • Thus when the substrate is leucocyanidin, a mixture of (+)-taxifolin and (+)-epitaxifolin are formed.
  • The enzyme can also oxidize the formed (+)-taxifolin to quercetin (cf. EC 1.14.20.6).
  • Formerly EC 1.14.11.19.
