BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
4-coumaroyl-CoA:malonyl-CoA 4-coumaryltransferase (bisdemethoxycurcumin-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
2 4-coumaroyl-CoA + malonyl-CoA + H2O = 3 CoA + bisdemethoxycurcumin + 2 CO2 [RN:R10233]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
4-coumaroyl-CoA [CPD:C00223];
malonyl-CoA [CPD:C00083];
H2O [CPD:C00001]
Product
CoA [CPD:C00010];
bisdemethoxycurcumin [CPD:C17743];
CO2 [CPD:C00011]
Comment
A polyketide synthase characterized from the plant Oryza sativa (rice) that catalyses the formation of the C6-C7-C6 diarylheptanoid scaffold of bisdemethoxycurcumin. Unlike the process in the plant Curcuma longa (turmeric), where the conversion is carried out via a diketide intermediate by two different enzymes (EC 2.3.1.218, phenylpropanoylacetyl-CoA synthase and EC 2.3.1.217, curcumin synthase), the diketide intermediate formed by this enzyme remains within the enzyme's cavity and is not released to the environment.
