Pentalenolactone F synthase

Pentalenolactone F synthase (, PEND (gene), PNTD (gene), PTLD (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name pentalenolactone-D,2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * pentalenolactone D + 2 2-oxoglutarate + 2 O2 $$\rightleftharpoons$$ pentalenolactone F + 2 succinate + 2 CO2 + H2O (overall reaction)
 * (1a) pentalenolactone D + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 $$\rightleftharpoons$$ pentalenolactone E + succinate + CO2 + H2O
 * (1b) pentalenolactone E + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 $$\rightleftharpoons$$ pentalenolactone F + succinate + CO2

Pentalenolactone F synthase contains Fe(II), and ascorbate is needed for its action.
