Other name(s): dihydrokaempferol 4-reductase; dihydromyricetin reductase; NADPH-dihydromyricetin reductase; dihydroquercetin reductase; DFR (gene name), dihydroflavanol 4-reductase (incorrect)
Systematic name: (2R,3S,4S)-leucoanthocyanidin:NADP+ 4-oxidoreductase
Comments: This plant enzyme, involved in the biosynthesis of anthocyanidins, is known to act on (+)-dihydrokaempferol, (+)-taxifolin, and (+)-dihydromyricetin, although some enzymes may act only on a subset of these compounds. Each dihydroflavonol is reduced to the corresponding cis-flavan-3,4-diol. NAD+ can act instead of NADP+, but more slowly.

Accepted name: 4-phosphoerythronate dehydrogenase
Reaction: 4-phospho-D-erythronate + NAD+ = (3R)-3-hydroxy-2-oxo-4-phosphonooxybutanoate + NADH + H+
For diagram of reaction click here.
Other name(s): PdxB; PdxB 4PE dehydrogenase; 4-O-phosphoerythronate dehydrogenase
Systematic name: 4-phospho-D-erythronate:NAD+ 2-oxidoreductase
Comments: This enzyme catalyses a step in a bacterial pathway for the biosynthesis of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. The enzyme contains a tightly-bound NAD(H) cofactor that is not re-oxidized by free NAD+. In order to re-oxidize the cofactor and restore enzyme activity, the enzyme catalyses the reduction of a 2-oxo acid (such as 2-oxoglutarate, oxaloacetate, or pyruvate) to the respective (R)-hydroxy acid [6]. cf. EC 1.1.1.399, 2-oxoglutarate reductase.

Systematic name: bacteriochlorophyllide-g:ferredoxin C-81-oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme, found only in bacteriochlorophyll b-producing bacteria, catalyses the introduction of a C-8 ethylidene group. The enzyme contains a [4Fe-4S] cluster, and structurally resembles the Fe protein/MoFe protein complex of nitrogenase. It is very similar to EC 1.3.7.15, chlorophyllide a reductase, and is composed of three subunits. Two of them form the catalytic component, while the third one functions as an ATP-dependent reductase component that catalyses the electron transfer from ferredoxin to the catalytic component.

Systematic name: bacteriochlorophyllide-a:ferredoxin 7,8-oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme, together with EC 1.1.1.396, bacteriochlorophyllide-a dehydrogenase, and EC 4.2.1.165, chlorophyllide-a 31-hydratase, is involved in the conversion of chlorophyllide a to bacteriochlorophyllide a. These enzymes can act in multiple orders, resulting in the formation of different intermediates, but the final product of the cumulative action of the three enzymes is always bacteriochlorophyllide a. This enzyme catalyses a trans-reduction of the B-ring; the product has the (7R,8R)-configuration. In addition, the enzyme has a latent activity of EC 1.3.7.13, 3,8-divinyl protochlorophyllide a 8-vinyl-reductase (ferredoxin) [4]. The enzyme contains a [4Fe-4S] cluster, and structurally resembles the Fe protein/MoFe protein complex of nitrogenase (EC 1.18.6.1), which catalyses an ATP-driven reduction.

Accepted name: coproporphyrinogen dehydrogenase

Other name(s): oxygen-independent coproporphyrinogen-III oxidase; HemN; coproporphyrinogen III oxidase
Systematic name: coproporphyrinogen-III:S-adenosyl-L-methionine oxidoreductase (decarboxylating)
Comments: This enzyme differs from EC 1.3.3.3, coproporphyrinogen oxidase, by using S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) instead of oxygen as oxidant. It occurs mainly in bacteria, whereas eukaryotes use the oxygen-dependent oxidase. The reaction starts by using an electron from the reduced form of the enzyme's [4Fe-4S] cluster to split AdoMet into methionine and the radical 5'-deoxyadenosin-5'-yl. This radical initiates attack on the 2-carboxyethyl groups, leading to their conversion into vinyl groups. This conversion, —·CH-CH2-COO- → —CH=CH2 + CO2 + e- replaces the electron initially used.

Systematic name: cholest-4-en-3-one,NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase [(25S)-3-oxocholest-4-en-26-oate forming]
Comments: This enzyme, found in several bacterial pathogens, is involved in degradation of the host's cholesterol. It catalyses the hydroxylation of the C-26 carbon, followed by oxidation of the alcohol to the carboxylic acid via the aldehyde intermediate, initiating the degradation of the alkyl side-chain of cholesterol [4]. The products are exclusively in the (25S) configuration. It is a two-component system consisting of a P-450 (heme thiolate) oxygenase (Cyp125) and a ferredoxin reductase (most likely KshB, which is also a part of EC 1.14.13.142 , 3-ketosteroid 9α-monooxygenase). The enzyme also accepts cholesterol as a substrate. cf. EC 1.14.13.221, cholest-4-en-3-one 27-monooxygenase.

Systematic name: cholest-4-en-3-one,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase [(25R)-3-oxocholest-4-en-26-oate forming]
Comments: This enzyme, found in several bacterial pathogens, is involved in degradation of the host cholesterol. It catalyses the hydroxylation of the C-26 carbon, followed by oxidation of the alcohol to the carboxylic acid via the aldehyde intermediate, initiating the degradation of the alkyl side-chain of cholesterol. The products are exclusively in the (25R) conformation. The enzyme also accepts cholesterol as a substrate. cf. EC 1.14.13.141, cholest-4-en-3-one 26-monooxygenase. The enzyme can receive electrons from ferredoxin reductase in vitro, its natural electron donor is not known yet.

Accepted name: bacterial luciferase
Reaction: a long-chain aldehyde + FMNH2 + O2 = a long-chain fatty acid + FMN + H2O + hν
Other name(s): aldehyde monooxygenase; luciferase; Vibrio fischeri luciferase; alkanal,reduced-FMN:oxygen oxidoreductase (1-hydroxylating, luminescing); alkanal,FMNH2:oxygen oxidoreductase (1-hydroxylating, luminescing); alkanal monooxygenase (FMN); aldehyde,FMNH2:oxygen oxidoreductase (1-hydroxylating, luminescing)
Systematic name: long-chain-aldehyde,FMNH2:oxygen oxidoreductase (1-hydroxylating, luminescing)
Comments: The reaction sequence starts with the incorporation of a molecule of oxygen into reduced FMN bound to the enzyme, forming luciferase peroxyflavin. The peroxyflavin interacts with an aliphatic long-chain aldehyde, producing a highly fluorescent species believed to be luciferase hydroxyflavin. The enzyme is highly specific for reduced FMN and for long-chain aliphatic aldehydes with eight carbons or more. The highest efficiency is achieved with tetradecanal. cf. EC 1.13.12.18, dinoflagellate luciferase.

Other name(s): phpK (gene name); bcpD (gene name); P-methylase
Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:N-acetyl-demethylphosphinothricin P-methyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme was originally characterized from bacteria that produce the tripeptides bialaphos and phosalacine, which inhibit plant and bacterial glutamine synthetases. It is a radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) enzyme that contains a [4Fe-4S] center and a methylcob(III)alamin cofactor. According to the proposed mechanism, the reduced iron-sulfur center donates an electron to SAM, resulting in homolytic cleavage of the carbon-sulfur bond to form a 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical that abstracts the hydrogen atom from the P-H bond of the substrate, forming a phosphinate-centered radical. This radical reacts with methylcob(III)alamin to produce the methylated product and cob(II)alamin, which is reduced by an unknown donor to cob(I)alamin. A potential route for restoring the latter back to methylcob(III)alamin is a nucleophilic attack on a second SAM molecule. The enzyme acts in vivo on N-acetyl-demethylphosphinothricin-L-alanyl-L-alanine or N-acetyl-demethylphosphinothricin-L-alanyl-L-leucine, the intermediates in the biosynthesis of bialaphos and phosalacine, respectively. This transformation produces the only example of a carbon-phosphorus-carbon linkage known to occur in nature.

Reaction: a long-chain acyl-CoA + 3 (R)-methylmalonyl-CoA + 6 NADPH + 6 H+ + holo-[mycolipanoate synthase] = mycolipanoyl-[mycolipanoate synthase] + 4 CoA + 3 CO2 + 6 NADP+ + 3 H2O
Glossary: mycolipanoic acid = (2S,4S,6S)-2,4,6-trimethyl-very-long-chain fatty acid
Other name(s): msl3 (gene name); Pks3/4; mycolipanoic acid synthase
Systematic name: long-chain acyl-CoA:methylmalonyl-CoA C-acyltransferase (mycolipanoate-forming)
Comments: This mycobacterial enzyme accepts long-chain fatty acyl groups from their CoA esters and extends them by incorporation of three methylmalonyl (but not malonyl) residues, forming trimethyl-branched fatty-acids such as (2S,4S,6S)-2,4,6-trimethyltetracosanoate (C27-mycolipanoate). Since the enzyme lacks a thioesterase domain, the product remains bound to the enzyme and requires additional enzyme(s) for removal.
