Biflaviolin synthase

Definition:

EC Tree > 1 Oxidoreductases > 1.14 Acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen > 1.14.19 With oxidation of a pair of donors resulting in the reduction of O2 to two molecules of water > 1.14.19.69 biflaviolin synthase
Biflaviolin synthase from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) is a P-450 that performs oxidative C–C phenol coupling of flaviolin to 3,3′- and 3,8′-biflaviolin (and triflaviolin); the highly conjugated pigments protect the bacterium from UV.
