Biflaviolin synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q9FCA6
(1) 2 flaviolin + 2 reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + 2 H(+) + O(2) = 3,3'-biflaviolin + 2 oxidized ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + 2 H(2)O. (2) 2 flaviolin + 2 reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + 2 H(+) + O(2) = 3,8'-biflaviolin + 2 oxidized ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + 2 H(2)O.
-!- This cytochrome-P450 (heme-thiolate) enzyme, from the soil-dwelling bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), catalyzes a phenol oxidation C-C coupling reaction, which results in the polymerization of flaviolin to form biflaviolin or triflaviolin without the incorporation of oxygen into the product. -!- The products are highly conjugated pigments that protect the bacterium from the deleterious effects of UV irradiation. -!- Formerly EC 1.14.21.7.
