EC 2.3.1.217 Details
EC number
2.3.1.217
Accepted name
curcumin synthase
Reaction
feruloyl-CoA + feruloylacetyl-CoA + H2O = 2 CoA + curcumin + CO2
Other name(s)
CURS, CURS1 (gene name), CURS2 (gene name), CURS3 (gene name)
Systematic name
feruloyl-CoA:feruloylacetyl-CoA feruloyltransferase (curcumin-forming)
Comment
A polyketide synthase from the plant Curcuma longa (turmeric). Three isoforms exist, CURS1, CURS2 and CURS3. While CURS1 and CURS2 prefer feruloyl-CoA as a starter substrate, CURS3 can accept 4-coumaroyl-CoA equally well [2] (see EC 2.3.1.219, demethoxycurcumin synthase).
