Description | This entry represents a conserved region found in strictosidine synthase ( ), a key enzyme in alkaloid biosynthesis. It catalyses the Pictet-Spengler stereospecific condensation of tryptamine with secologanin to form strictosidine [ ]. The structure of the native enzyme from the Indian medicinal plant Rauvolfia serpentina (Serpentwood) (Devilpepper) represents the first example of a six-bladed four-stranded β-propeller fold from the plant kingdom []. |
