3-acetyloctanal synthase EC#: 2.2.1.12; ChemWhat Code: 1376714
| Product Name | 3-acetyloctanal synthase |
| Example Structure |  |
| Synonyms | pigD |
| EC Number | 2.2.1.12 |
| CAS Registry Number | |
| Comments | Requires thiamine diphosphate. The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Serratia marcescens, participates in the biosynthesis of the antibiotic prodigiosin. The enzyme decarboxylates pyruvate, followed by attack of the resulting two-carbon fragment on (E)-oct-2-enal, resulting in a Stetter reaction. In vitro the enzyme can act on a number of ¦Á,¦Â-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, including aldehydes and ketones, and can catalyse both 1-2 and 1-4 carboligations depending on the substrate. |
| Cofactor | thiamine diphosphate |
| History | |
| Reactions | Pyruvate + (E)-oct-2-enal = (S)-3-acetyloctanal + CO(2). |
