Sysname
S-adenosyl-L-methionine:7'-O-demethylcephaeline 7'-O-methyltransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + 7'-O-demethylcephaeline = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + cephaeline [RN:R11685]
Reaction(KEGG)
R11685
Substrate
S-adenosyl-L-methionine [CPD:C00019];
7'-O-demethylcephaeline [CPD:C21584]
Product
S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine [CPD:C00021];
cephaeline [CPD:C09390]
Comment
This activity is the penultimate step in the bionsynthesis of the alkaloid emetine. It is catalysed by two enzymes isolated from the roots of the tropical plant Carapichea ipecacuanha, IpeOMT2 and CiOMT1. The latter also catalyses the activity of EC 2.1.1.396, cephaeline 6'-O-methyltransferase, but with much lower activity.
