Common Namedehypoxanthine futalosine
DescriptionDehypoxanthine futalosine is a member of the class of metabolites involved in the biosynthesis of menaquinone, a vital component in bacterial electron transport chains. Its chemical structure features a purine derivative that undergoes enzymatic transformations within specific metabolic pathways. Notably, the radical S-adenosylmethionine enzyme MqnC catalyzes the conversion of dehypoxanthine futalosine (DHFL) into a unique spiro compound known as cyclic DHFL, which plays a crucial role in the futalosine pathway for menaquinone biosynthesis (PMID:23763543 ). Additionally, MqnD facilitates the transformation of cyclic dehypoxanthine futalosine into 5,8-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid and an uncharacterized product, further illustrating the compound's involvement in complex biochemical processes (PMID:34143602 ). These reactions highlight the significance of dehypoxanthine futalosine in the intricate network of metabolic pathways that contribute to the synthesis of essential biomolecules in various organisms.
