Superfamily Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase-like domain
Functional Family Vinorine synthase

Enzyme Information

2.3.1.160
Vinorine synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q70PR7
Acetyl-CoA + 16-epivellosimine = CoA + vinorine.
-!- The reaction proceeds in two stages. -!- The indole nitrogen of 16-epivellosimine interacts with its aldehyde group giving an hydroxy-substituted new ring. -!- This alcohol is then acetylated. -!- Also acts on gardneral (11-methoxy-16-epivellosimine). -!- Generates the ajmalan skeleton, which forms part of the route to ajmaline.
