| Name |
leucocyanidin oxygenase;
anthocyanidin synthase |
| Class |
Oxidoreductases;
Acting on paired donors, with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or
reduction of oxygen. The oxygen incorporated need not be derived
from O2;
With 2-oxoglutarate as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of
oxygen into each donor

| Comment |
The enzyme requires Fe(II) and ascorbate. It is involved in the
pathway by which many flowering plants make anthocyanin
(glycosylated anthocyandin) flower pigments. The intermediates are
transformed into cis- and trans-dihydroquercetin [2], which the
enzyme can also oxidize to quercetin. Acidification of the products
gives anthocyanidin [1], which, however, may not be a natural
precursor of the anthocyanins. |
