| (1S,2R)-1-C-(indol-3-yl)glycerol 3-phosphate <=> indole + D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- Forms part of the defense mechanism against insects and microbial
pathogens in the grass family, Gramineae, where it catalyzes one of
the steps in the formation of the cyclic hydroxamic acids 2,4-
dihydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one (DIBOA) and 2,4-dihydroxy-7-
methoxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one (DIMBOA).
- Resembles the alpha-subunit of EC 4.2.1.20 but, unlike tryptophan
synthase, its activity is independent of the beta-subunit and free
indole is released.
