Enzyme Information

1.14.20.4
Anthocyanidin synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q96323
A (2R,3S,4S)-leucoanthocyanidin + 2-oxoglutarate + O(2) = an anthocyanidin + succinate + CO(2) + 2 H(2)O.
-!- Is involved in the pathway by which many flowering plants make anthocyanin flower pigments (glycosylated anthocyandins). -!- Hydroxylates the C-3 carbon, followed by a trans diaxial elimination, forming a C-2,C-3 enol. -!- The product loses a second water molecule to form anthocyanidins. -!- When assayed in vitro, non-enzymic epimerization of the product can lead to formation of dihydroflavanols. -!- Thus when the substrate is leucocyanidin, a mixture of (+)-taxifolin and (+)-epitaxifolin are formed. -!- The enzyme can also oxidize the formed (+)-taxifolin to quercetin (cf. EC 1.14.20.6). -!- Formerly EC 1.14.11.19.
