Enzyme Information

4.2.3.152
2-epi-5-epi-valiolone synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt H2K887
D-sedoheptulose 7-phosphate = 2-epi-5-epi-valiolone + phosphate.
-!- 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.
