additional information | generation of several PPO-silenced RNAi transgenic lines that show over 95% reduction in catechol oxidase activity relative to wild-type controls, the plants develop a phenotype with disease-like necrotic lesions. Levels of salicylic acid, H2O2, or malondialdehyde are not significantly different in the PPO-silenced leaves compared to wild-type leaves. Metabolomic analysis of PPO-silenced and wild-type leaves reveal significant differences in many metabolites, particularly phenylpropanoids, and about 10fold increased levels of tyramine. Although L-DOPA is undetectable in both PPO-silenced and wild-type walnut plants, levels of dopamine (derived from either L-DOPA or tyramine) and 5,6 dihydroxyindole (derived from L-DOPA) are reduced approximately 6 and 100fold, respectively, in PPO-silenced plants relative to wild-type controls | Juglans regia |

metabolism | the enzyme is involved in the first step in betalain biosynthesis, the conversion of tyrosine into L-DOP, i.e. L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine. The resulting L-DOPA can be a substrate for DOPA 4,5-dioxygenase (DODA) that cleaves the aromatic ring to form 4,5-seco-DOPA. The cleavage product spontaneously rearranges to form betalamic acid, which can condense with amino acids or other amine groups to form yellow betaxanthins. Condensation of betalamic acid with cyclo-DOPA forms the red betacyanin pigments. The catechol oxidase activity of PPO is involved in the oxidation of DOPA to DOPA quinone that can spontaneously rearrange to form the cyclo-DOPA moiety of the red betacyanin betalains, pathway overview | Beta vulgaris |
