2-Azahypoxanthine (AHX) and 2-aza-8-oxohypoxanthine (AOH), discovered as causal substances of fairy rings are known to be endogenous in the fairy ring-forming Lepista sordida. In this study, we showed that xanthine dioxygenase, an a-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase, might catalyze the conversion of AHX to AOH in the fungus. Furthermore, this enzyme is the first reported molybdopterin-independent protein of hypoxanthine metabolism.
2-氮杂次黄嘌呤(AHX)和2-氮杂-8-氧代次黄嘌呤(AOH)作为蘑菇圈的致病物质被发现,已知它们在形成蘑菇圈的污白鳞伞中是内源性的。在本研究中,我们表明黄嘌呤双加氧酶,一种依赖于α-酮戊二酸的双加氧酶,可能在真菌中催化AHX向AOH的转化。此外,这种酶是首次报道的次黄嘌呤代谢中不依赖钼蝶呤的蛋白质。
