CAS: 175170-53-3

2,5-Dimethylpyridin-3-ol is a compound that is biosynthesized by the action of the enzyme 2,5-dimethylpyridine 3-ol synthase. This enzyme catalyzes an oxidative reaction in which a methyl group is transferred from S-adenosylmethionine to 2,5-dimethylpyridine to form 2,5-dimethylpyridin-3-ol. The gene encoding this enzyme has been cloned and expressed in bacterial cells. The kinetic properties of the recombinant protein have been determined and found to be similar to those of the native protein. The enzyme is found in both mitochondria and chloroplasts but only expressed at high levels in chloroplasts.
2,5-Dimethylpyridin-3-ol is a regulatory compound that can bind to sixfold sites on DNA as well as regulate transcription in bacteria. It also has been shown to inhibit resp
