Contains FMN. The enzyme participates in the biosynthesis of fumigaclavine C, an ergot alkaloid produced by some fungi of the Trichocomaceae family. The enzyme catalyses the reduction of chanoclavine-I aldehyde to dihydrochanoclavine-I aldehyde. This hydrolyses spontaneously to form 6,8-dimethyl-6,7-didehydroergoline, which is converted to festuclavine by EC 1.5.1.44, festuclavine dehydrogenase.
The enzyme appears in viruses and cellular organisms

chanoclavine-I aldehyde:NAD+ oxidoreductase

Substrates: the enzyme is more active in the presence of FMN and NADH than other combinations, e.g. FMN and NADPH, FAD and NADH or FAD and NADPH Products: -

the enzyme is required for incorporation of chanoclavine-I-aldehyde into more-complex ergot alkaloids, presumably by reducing the double bond conjugated to the aldehyde group, thus facilitating ring closure

LITERATURE
to 1.8 A resolution. EasA is a strong structural homolog of old yellow enzyme OYE. The structure is a classic alpha/beta-barrel built up by consecutive alpha/beta motifs to form a central eight-stranded parallel beta-barrel surrounded by alpha-helices. The N-terminus forms a short antiparallel two-stranded beta-sheet that closes off the back of the barrel. The FMN is bound at the other end of the barrel
