EC 2.3.1.253 Details
EC number
2.3.1.253
Accepted name
phloroglucinol synthase
Reaction
3 malonyl-CoA = phloroglucinol + 3 CO2 + 3 CoA
Other name(s)
phlD (gene name)
Systematic name
malonyl-CoA:malonyl-CoA malonyltransferase (decarboxylating, phloroglucinol-forming)
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5, is a type III polyketide synthase. The mechanism involves the cyclization of an activated 3,5-dioxoheptanedioate intermediate. The enzyme exhibits broad substrate specificity, and can accept C4-C12 aliphatic acyl-CoAs and phenylacetyl-CoA as the starter molecules, forming 6-(polyoxoalkyl)-α-pyrones by sequential condensation with malonyl-CoA.
