EC 1.14.19.63

Accepted name: pseudobaptigenin synthase

Reaction: (1) calycosin + [reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + O2 = pseudobaptigenin + [oxidized NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + 2 H2O
(2) pratensein + [reduced NADPH-hemoprotein reductase] + O2 = 5-hydroxypseudobaptigenin + [oxidized NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + 2 H2O

Glossary: calycosin = 3'-hydroxyformononetin
pratensein = 3'-hydroxybiochanin A

Systematic name: calycosin,[reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen oxidoreductase (methylenedioxy-bridge-forming)

Comments: A cytochrome P-450 (heme-thiolate) enzyme catalysing an oxidative reaction that does not incorporate oxygen into the product. Catalyses a step in the biosynthesis of (–)-maackiain, the main pterocarpan phytoalexin in chickpea (Cicer arietinum).
