Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Pyrazines are biologically active pheromones and odors distributed among biological systems while their biosynthesis mechanism are fairly understood. The function of bacterial pap gene cluster revealed unique pathway for 2,5-dimethyl-3,6-bis(4-aminobenzyl)-pyrazine (DMBAP) synthesis that novel family of α-oxoamine synthase initially converts an amino acid to aminoketone, which couples to be a dihydropyrazine and forms the pyrazine DMBAP by novel dihydropyrazine oxidase. This finding establishes the novel enzymic framework of pyrazine biosynthesis.
