A new class EC 7, Translocases, has been added to the EC list. It will be part of ENZYME from release 2018_10. Read more about EC 7 here.

ENZYME entry: EC 2.5.1.15

Accepted Name
Dihydropteroate synthase.
Alternative Name(s)
DHPS.
Dihydropteroate diphosphorylase.
Dihydropteroate pyrophosphorylase.
Reaction catalysed
6-hydroxymethyl-7,8-dihydropterin diphosphate + 4-aminobenzoate <=> diphosphate + dihydropteroate
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme participates in the biosynthetic pathways for folate (in bacteria, plants and fungi) and methanopterin (in archaea).
  • The enzyme exists in varying types of multifunctional proteins in different organisms.
  • The enzyme from the plant Arabidopsis thaliana also harbors the activity of EC 2.7.6.3, while the enzyme from yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is trifunctional with the two above mentioned activities as well as EC 4.1.2.25.
