EC 1.14.14.169

Accepted name: eupatolide synthase

Reaction: 8β-hydroxygermacra-1(10),4,11(13)-trien-12-oate + [reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + O2 = eupatolide + [oxidized NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + 2 H2O (overall reaction)
(1a) 8β-hydroxygermacra-1(10),4,11(13)-trien-12-oate + [reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + O2 = 6α,8β-dihydroxygermacra-1(10),4,11(13)-trien-12-oate + [oxidized NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + H2O
(1b) 6α,8β-dihydroxygermacra-1(10),4,11(13)-trien-12-oate = eupatolide + H2O (spontaneous)
