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 4.2.3.152

Accepted Name
2-epi-5-epi-valiolone synthase.
Alternative Name(s)
C(7)-cyclitol synthase.
Reaction catalysed
D-sedoheptulose 7-phosphate <=> 2-epi-5-epi-valiolone + phosphate
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme is highly specific for alpha-D-sedoheptulopyranose 7-phosphate.
  • It requires a divalent metal ion (Zn(2+) or Co(2+)) and an NAD(+) cofactor, which is transiently reduced during the reaction.
  • The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of C(7)N-aminocyclitol natural products, such as the valienamine moiety of the antidiabetic drug acarbose and the crop protectant validamycin A.
  • Cf. EC 4.2.3.154 and EC 4.2.3.155.
