EC 1.14.20.5

Accepted name: flavone synthase I

Reaction: a flavanone + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 = a flavone + succinate + CO2 + H2O

Other name(s): FNSI (gene name)

Systematic name: flavanone,2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase (dehydrating)

Comments: The enzyme, which has been found in rice and in members of the Apiaceae (a plant family), is a member of the 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases, and requires ascorbate and Fe2+ for full activity.
