2.1.1.140 E204A 4-6% of wild-type activity 755791 2.1.1.140 E204G mutation to the corresponding residue of Papaver somniferum reticuline N-methyltransferase. Mutant shows a weak activity with (S)-coclaurine and a more substantial activity with (S)-N-methylcoclaurine. Compared to wild-type, activity with (S)-reticuline is 35fold improved 757949 2.1.1.140 E207A 60-75% of wild-type activity 755791 2.1.1.140 F332A 0.6% of wild-typ activity with substrate coclaurine 755791 2.1.1.140 G331A negligible effect on activity 755791 2.1.1.140 H208A 1% of wild-type activity with substrate heliamine, 4% with substrate coclaurine, respectively 755791 2.1.1.140 additional information virus-induced gene silencing in opium poppy to functionally characterize six genes potentially involved in papaverine biosynthesis, e.g. the gene encoding coclaurine N-methyltransferase, altered alkaloid content phenotypes, overview. Norlaudanine is only detected in CNMT-suppressed plants 720710 2.1.1.140 R330A negligible effect on activity 755791 2.1.1.140 W329A 4% of wild-type activity with substrate heliamine, 0.5% with substrate coclaurine, respectively 755791 2.1.1.140 Y328A 5% of wild-type activity with substrate heliamine, 10% with substrate coclaurine, respectively 755791
