Enzyme Information

4.1.3.36
1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoyl-CoA synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt P9WNP5
4-(2-carboxyphenyl)-4-oxobutanoyl-CoA = 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoyl-CoA + H(2)O.
-!- This enzyme is involved in the synthesis of 1,4-dihydroxy-2- naphthoate, a branch point metabolite leading to the biosynthesis of menaquinone (vitamin K(2), in bacteria), phylloquinone (vitamin K(1) in plants), and many plant pigments. -!- The coenzyme A group is subsequently removed from the product by EC 3.1.2.28.
