IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 1.5.4.1

Names

Accepted name:
pyrimidodiazepine synthase
Other names:
PDA synthase
pyrimidodiazepine:oxidized-glutathione oxidoreductase (ring-opening, cyclizing)
pyrimidodiazepine:glutathione-disulfide oxidoreductase (ring-opening, cyclizing)
Systematic name:
2-amino-6-acetyl-3,7,8,9-tetrahydro-3H-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepin-4-one:glutathione-disulfide oxidoreductase (ring-opening, cyclizing)

Reaction

Comments:

In the reverse direction of reaction, the reduction of 6-pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin is accompanied by the opening of the 6-membered pyrazine ring and the formation of the 7-membered diazepine ring. The pyrimidodiazepine involved is an acetyldihydro derivative. Involved in the formation of the eye pigment drosopterin in Drosophila melanogaster.
