EC 2.3.1.220 Details
EC number
2.3.1.220
Accepted name
2,4,6-trihydroxybenzophenone synthase
Reaction
3 malonyl-CoA + benzoyl-CoA = 4 CoA + 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzophenone + 3 CO2
Other name(s)
benzophenone synthase (ambiguous), BPS (ambiguous)
Systematic name
malonyl-CoA:benzoyl-CoA malonyltransferase (2,4,6-trihydroxybenzophenone-forming)
Comment
Involved in the biosynthesis of plant xanthones. The enzyme from the plant Hypericum androsaemum L can use 3-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA instead of benzoyl-CoA, but with lower activity (cf. EC 2.3.1.151, 2,3′,4,6-tetrahydroxybenzophenone synthase).
