Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the plant Catharanthus roseus (Madagascar periwinkle), participates in a pathway that leads to the production of a number of monoterpene alkaloids, as well as the bisindole alkaloids vinblastine and vincristine, which are used as anticancer drugs. The enzyme forms the iminium ion form of dihydroprecondylocarpine acetate, which spontaneously rearranges and undergoes deacylation, producing dehydrosecodine.
