ENZYME entry: EC 1.4.3.27

Accepted Name
homospermidine oxidase
Reaction catalysed
H2O + 2 O2 + sym-homospermidine = 1-formylpyrrolizidine + 2 H2O2 + 2 NH4(+)
Comment(s)
  • The copper-containing enzyme has been isolated from the plant Heliotropium indicum.
  • It is involved in the biosynthesis of the pyrrolizidine alkaloid (-)- trachelanthamidine which acts as a secondary metabolite for the defense against herbivores.
  • The oxidation of sym-homospermidine proceeds in three steps and results in a cyclization.
