- PreQ1 synthase
In
enzymology , a preQ1 synthase (EC number|1.7.1.13) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :7-aminomethyl-7-carbaguanine + 2 NADP+ 7-cyano-7-carbaguanine + 2 NADPH + 2 H+
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
7-aminomethyl-7-carbaguanine and NADP+, whereas its 3 products are7-cyano-7-carbaguanine , NADPH, and H+.This enzyme belongs to the family of
oxidoreductase s, specifically those acting on other nitrogenous compounds as donors with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 7-aminomethyl-7-carbaguanine:NADP+ oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include YkvM, QueF, preQ0 reductase, preQ0 oxidoreductase, 7-cyano-7-deazaguanine reductase, 7-aminomethyl-7-carbaguanine:NADP+ oxidoreductase, queuine synthase (incorrect as queuine is not the product), queuine:NADP+ oxidoreductase (incorrect as queuine is not the, and product).References
