Structure of apo anthocyanidin reductase from vitis vinifera
Structural highlights
FunctionANRCS_VITVI Produces the terminal flavan-3-ol monomers required for the formation of proanthocyanidins or condensed tannins in leaves and flowers, as well as in the skin and seeds of developing berries (Ref.1, PubMed:16169968). Behaves as a reductase and as a C-3 epimerase (PubMed:20030585). Catalyzes the double reduction of anthocyanidins, producing a mixture of (2S,3S)- and (2S,3R)-flavan-3-ols (Ref.1). The enzyme catalyzes sequential hydride transfers to C-2 and C-4, respectively and epimerization at C-3 is achieved by tautomerization that occurs between the two hydride transfers (PubMed:20030585). Converts cyanidin, pelargonidin and delphinidin into catechin and epicatechin, afzelechin and epiafzelechin, and gallocatechin and epigallocatechin respectively (PubMed:19690377).[1] [2] [3] [UniProtKB:A0A059TC02] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedTogether with leucoanthocyanidin reductase, anthocyanidin reductase (ANR) is one of the two enzymes of the flavonoid-biosynthesis pathway that produces the flavan-3-ol monomers required for the formation of proanthocyanidins or condensed tannins. It has been shown to catalyse the double reduction of anthocyanidins to form 2R,3R-flavan-3-ols, which can be further transformed to the 2S,3R isomers by non-enzymatic epimerization. ANR from grape (Vitis vinifera) was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified. Unexpectedly, RP-HPLC, LC-MS and NMR experiments clearly established that the enzyme produces a 50:50 mixture of 2,3-cis and 2,3-trans flavan-3-ols which have been identified by chiral chromatography to be 2S,3S- and 2S,3R-flavan-3-ols, i.e. the naturally rare (+)-epicatechin and (-)-catechin, when cyanidin is used as the substrate of the reaction. The first three-dimensional structure of ANR is described at a resolution of 2.2 A and explains the inactivity of the enzyme in the presence of high salt concentrations.
