Enzyme Information

2.3.1.151
2,3',4,6-tetrahydroxybenzophenone synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q8SAS8
3 malonyl-CoA + 3-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA = 4 CoA + 2,3',4,6- tetrahydroxybenzophenone + 3 CO(2).
-!- Involved in the biosynthesis of plant xanthones. -!- Benzoyl-CoA can replace 3-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA (cf. EC 2.3.1.220).
2.3.1.220
2,4,6-trihydroxybenzophenone synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q8SAS8
3 malonyl-CoA + benzoyl-CoA = 4 CoA + 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzophenone + 3 CO(2).
-!- Involved in the biosynthesis of plant xanthones. -!- The enzyme from the plant Hypericum androsaemum L can use 3-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA instead of benzoyl-CoA, but with lower activity (cf. EC 2.3.1.151).
