1.14.14.141 (+)-marmesin + [reduced NADPH-hemoprotein reductase] + O2 - 1.14.14.141 (+)-marmesin + [reduced NADPH-hemoprotein reductase] + O2 the enzyme is the first committed monooxygenase of linear furanocoumarin biosynthesis, pathway overview 1.14.14.141 (+)-marmesin + [reduced NADPH-hemoprotein reductase] + O2 the substrate is synthesized from demethylsuberosin by the marmesin synthase, biosynthesis of furanocoumarin phytoalexin which are then excreted from the endoplasmic reticulum lumen into the cell culture medium 1.14.14.141 5-hydroxymarmesin + [reduced NADPH-hemoprotein reductase] + O2 - 1.14.14.141 5-hydroxymarmesin + [reduced NADPH-hemoprotein reductase] + O2 low activity, psoralen 5-monoxygenase activity 1.14.14.141 additional information umbelliferone is a better precursor of psoralens than either demethylsuberosin or marmesin
