    2.1.1.68 | more |
enzyme is involved in biosynthesis of lignin |
| 2.1.1.68 | S-adenosyl-L-methionine + 3,4,5-trihydroxycinnamic acid |
key lignin biosynthetic enzyme. Down-regulated transgenic plants show substantially reduced levels of transcripts, significantly reduced enzymatic activities, significantly decreased lignin content, apparently altered lignin composition and significantly increased digestibility |
| 2.1.1.68 | S-adenosyl-L-methionine + 3,4-dihydroxy-trans-cinnamate |
- |
| 2.1.1.68 | S-adenosyl-L-methionine + 3,4-dihydroxy-trans-cinnamate |
enzyme essentially controls the biosynthesis of syringyl lignin units |
| 2.1.1.68 | S-adenosyl-L-methionine + 3,4-dihydroxy-trans-cinnamate |
the enzyme does not use caffeic acid as a substrate in the presence of 5-hydroxyconiferaldehyde |
| 2.1.1.68 | S-adenosyl-L-methionine + 3,4-dihydroxy-trans-cinnamate |
i.e. caffeic acid, involved in the biosynthesis of lignin and of some flavonoids in plants |
| 2.1.1.68 | S-adenosyl-L-methionine + 3,4-dihydroxy-trans-cinnamate |
i.e. caffeic acid, involved in the biosynthesis of lignin |
| 2.1.1.68 | S-adenosyl-L-methionine + 3,4-dihydroxy-trans-cinnamate |
the enzyme is co-induced with other enzymes of the general phenylpropanoid pathway and is involved in the biosynthesis of lignin precursors |
| 2.1.1.68 | S-adenosyl-L-methionine + 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde |
3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde is not the preferred substrate |
| 2.1.1.68 | S-adenosyl-L-methionine + 5-hydroxyferulic acid |
