12-oxophytodienoate reductase

 

12-Oxophytodienoate reductase 3 (OPR3) from tomato catalyses the reduction of a carbon-carbon double bond in 9S, 13S-12-oxo-phytodienoate (9S, 13S-OPDA) producing 1S,2S-3-oxo-2(2'[Z]-pentenyl)-cyclopentane-1-octanoate. The product is subsequently converted to jasmonic acid which is a plant hormone. OPR3 is a homologue of old yellow enzyme (OYE) and has a similar catalytic mechanism. OPR3 dimerises with a low affinity in vitro but the dimer is not catalytically active. Dimerisation in vivo could be regulated by phosphorylation as part of a control mechanism..

Enzyme Mechanism

Introduction

The reaction proceeds via a ping-pong bi-bi mechanism. NAD(P)H reduces FMN by transfering a hydride ion to N(5) before the substrate binds. FMNH- subsequently transfers the hydride ion to C(beta) of the substrate. Tyr190 protonates C(alpha) of the substrate.
