2.5.1.80 |
| Accepted name: |
7-dimethylallyltryptophan synthase |
| Reaction: |
prenyl diphosphate + L-tryptophan = diphosphate + 7-prenyl-L-tryptophan |
| Glossary: |
prenyl = 3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl |
| Other name(s): |
7-DMATS; dimethylallyl-diphosphate:L-tryptophan 7-dimethylallyltransferase |
| Systematic name: |
prenyl-diphosphate:L-tryptophan 7-prenyltransferase |
| Comments: |
This enzyme is more flexible towards the aromatic substrate than EC 2.5.1.34 (4-dimethylallyltryptophan synthase), but similar to that enzyme, accepts only prenyl diphosphate as the prenyl donor. |
