ENZYME: 2.3.1.150

Entry

EC 2.3.1.150                Enzyme

Name

salutaridinol 7-O-acetyltransferase

Class

Transferases;
Acyltransferases;
Transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups

Sysname

acetyl-CoA:salutaridinol 7-O-acetyltransferase

Reaction(IUBMB)

acetyl-CoA + salutaridinol = CoA + 7-O-acetylsalutaridinol [RN:R04723]

Reaction(KEGG)

R04723

Substrate

acetyl-CoA [CPD:C00024];
salutaridinol [CPD:C05220]

Product

CoA [CPD:C00010];
7-O-acetylsalutaridinol [CPD:C05322]

Comment

The enzyme is present in the poppy, Papaver somniferum. At pH 8-9 the product, 7-O-acetylsalutaridinol, spontaneously closes the 4->5 oxide bridge by allylic elimination to form the morphine precursor thebaine
