EC 2.5.1.70 Details
EC number
2.5.1.70
Accepted name
naringenin 8-dimethylallyltransferase
Reaction
prenyl diphosphate + (–)-(2S)-naringenin = diphosphate + sophoraflavanone B
Other name(s)
N8DT, dimethylallyl-diphosphate:naringenin 8-dimethylallyltransferase
Systematic name
prenyl-diphosphate:naringenin 8-prenyltransferase
Comment
Requires Mg2+. This membrane-bound protein is located in the plastids [2]. In addition to naringenin, the enzyme can prenylate several other flavanones at the C-8 position, but more slowly. Along with EC 1.14.14.142 (8-dimethylallylnaringenin 2′-hydroxylase) and EC 2.5.1.71 (leachianone-G 2′′-dimethylallyltransferase), this enzyme forms part of the sophoraflavanone-G-biosynthesis pathway.
