---|---|---|
evolution | phylogenetic analysis and tree, the enzyme belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase family 1, GH1. All GH1 family beta-Glus in Camellia sinensis contain the same PfamB domain (PB027112) in the N-terminus, followed by a PfamA domain (PF00232, glyco_hydro_1) | Camellia sinensis |
physiological function | many tea aroma compounds are present as glycosidically conjugated forms in tea leaves, and can be hydrolyzed by beta-glucosidase (beta-Glu) and beta-primeverosidase. beta-Primeverosidase hydrolyzes beta-primeverosidically bound volatiles to free volatiles. In tea leaves, beta-primeverosidase and beta-Glus are the main enzymes involved in the transformation of glycosidically bound volatiles (GBVs) into free volatiles. Disruption of the tea leaf cells is essential for the interaction of substrates (GBVs occur in vacuoles) and enzymes (beta-primeverosidase localized in cell walls) | Camellia sinensis |
