UniProtKB description: Scytalone dehydratase; part of the gene cluster that mediates the biosynthesis of dihydroxynaphthalene melanin, a bluish-green pigment and a structural component of the conidial wall (PubMed:9571787). Within the pathway, catalyzes the dehydration of scytalone as well as of vermelone (PubMed:10320327, PubMed:10386945, PubMed:10386946, PubMed:10636235, PubMed:10694394, PubMed:10913266, PubMed:11790103, PubMed:12413868, PubMed:15056895, PubMed:9466791, PubMed:9466792, PubMed:9539706, PubMed:9571787). Is also able to dehydrate the alternate substrate 2,3-dihydro-2,5-dihydroxy-4H-benzopyran-4-one (DDBO) to 5-hydroxy-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one (HBO) (PubMed:10320327, PubMed:10386945, PubMed:11790103, PubMed:9466791, PubMed:9466792).
