Sysname
S-adenosyl-L-methionine:sterigmatocystin 8-O-methyltransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
(1) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + sterigmatocystin = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 8-O-methylsterigmatocystin [RN:R03111];
(2) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + dihydrosterigmatocystin = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 8-O-methyldihydrosterigmatocystin [RN:R10307]
Reaction(KEGG)
R03111 R10307
Substrate
S-adenosyl-L-methionine [CPD:C00019];
sterigmatocystin [CPD:C00961];
dihydrosterigmatocystin [CPD:C20445]
Product
S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine [CPD:C00021];
8-O-methylsterigmatocystin [CPD:C03686];
8-O-methyldihydrosterigmatocystin [CPD:C03944]
Comment
Dihydrosterigmatocystin can also act as acceptor. Involved in the biosynthesis of aflatoxins in fungi.
