Description | Proteins in this family are required in the final stages of the biosynthesis of secondary metabolite such as fungal alkaloids. These include agroclavine dehydrogenase (easG) from ergot ( Claviceps purpurea), which is required for the biosynthesis of the ergot alkaloid agroclavine, converting the intermediate chanoclavine-I aldehyde to agroclavine non-enzymatically [ , ]; and festuclavine synthase I (ifgF1) fromPenicillium roqueforti, which reduces the intermediate 6,8-dimethyl-6,7-didehydroergoline to form festuclavine [ ]. | Name | Ergot alkaloid biosynthesis protein |
