Glossary: prosolanapyrone II = 3-(hydroxymethyl)-4-methoxy-6-(1E,7E,9E)-undeca-1,7,9-trien-1-yl-2H-pyran-2-one
prosolanapyrone III = 4-methoxy-2-oxo-6-(1E,7E,9E)-undeca-1,7,9-trien-1-yl-2H-pyran-3-carboxaldehyde
Other name(s): Sol5 (ambiguous); SPS (ambiguous); solanapyrone synthase (bifunctional enzyme: prosolanapyrone II oxidase/prosolanapyrone III cycloisomerase); prosolanapyrone II oxidase
Systematic name: prosolanapyrone-II:oxygen 3'-oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of the phytotoxin solanapyrone by some fungi. The bifunctional enzyme catalyses the oxidation of prosolanapyrone II and the subsequent Diels Alder cycloisomerization of the product prosolanapyrone III to (–)-solanapyrone A (cf. EC 5.5.1.20, prosolanapyrone III cycloisomerase).
