| Function: | Scytalone dehydratase; part of the gene cluster that mediates the biosynthesis of dihydroxynaphthalene melanin, a bluish-green pigment and a structural component of the conidial wall (PubMed:9571787). Within the pathway, catalyzes the dehydration of scytalone as well as of vermelone (PubMed:9571787, PubMed:9466791, PubMed:9466792, PubMed:9539706, PubMed:10320327, PubMed:10386945, PubMed:10386946, PubMed:10694394, PubMed:10913266, PubMed:10636235, PubMed:11790103, PubMed:12413868, PubMed:15056895). Is also able to dehydrate the alternate substrate 2,3-dihydro-2,5-dihydroxy-4H- benzopyran-4-one (DDBO) to 5-hydroxy-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one (HBO) (PubMed:9466791, PubMed:9466792, PubMed:10320327, PubMed:10386945, PubMed:11790103). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10320327, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10386945, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10386946, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10636235, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10694394, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10913266, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11790103, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12413868, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15056895, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9466791, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9466792, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9539706, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9571787}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=scytalone = 1,3,8-trihydroxynaphthalene + H2O; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:24396, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:16945, ChEBI:CHEBI:18393; EC=4.2.1.94; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10320327, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10386945, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10386946, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10636235, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10694394, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10913266, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11790103, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12413868, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15056895, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9466791, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9466792, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9539706, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9571787}; | |
| Activity regulation: | (N-phenoxypropyl)-carboxamides such as carpropamid and derivatives of norephedrine act as inhibitors of scytalone dehydratase activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10386945, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10386946, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10882002, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12413868, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15056895, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15382507}. | |
| Biophysicochemical properties: | Kinetic parameters: KM=15 uM for 2,3-dihydro-2,5-dihydroxy-4H-benzopyran-4-one (DDBO) {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10320327, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9466791}; KM=33 uM for scytalone {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10320327}; KM=31 uM for vermelone {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10320327, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11790103}; | |
| Pathway: | Pigment biosynthesis; melanin biosynthesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9571787}. | |
| Subunit: | Homotrimer (PubMed:7866745). Each subunit contains an active site, located in the central part of the hydrophobic core of the monomer, which functions independently (PubMed:7866745). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7866745}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Endosome {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O14434}. | |
| Induction: | Expression is induced in the stationary phase, when melanin synthesis occurs (PubMed:9571787). Expression is specifically induced during appressorium formation (PubMed:15378734). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15378734, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9571787}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the scytalone dehydratase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
