1.1.1.B57 | metabolism |
the enzyme plays an integral part in the biosynthesis of 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) melanin, a virulence factor of many filamentous fungi, together with scytalone dehydratase, pathway overview. DHN melanin biosynthesis constitutes a diversity-oriented metabolic network, comprising vicinal ketodiol and 4-hydroxy-1-tetralone biosyntheses as branching points. Polyhydroxynaphthalene reductases are involved in promiscuous reduction reactions, reflecting the idea of a matrix biosynthetic pathway, involvement of polyhydroxynaphthalene reductases in spirodioxynaphthalene biosynthesis |

1.1.1.B57 | physiological function |
the enzyme plays an integral part in the biosynthesis of 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) melanin, a virulence factor of many filamentous fungi, togeher with scytalone dehydratase, pathway overview. Hundreds of metabolites, such as the dalmanols, balticols, 3,4-dihydroxy-1-tetralones, 4-hydroxy-1-tetralones, and spirodioxynaphthalenes are derived from the intermediate polyhydroxynaphthalenes |
