The Unique Role of the ECERIFERUM2-LIKE Clade of the BAHD Acyltransferase Superfamily in Cuticular Wax Metabolism [PDF]
Plants, 2017 The elongation of very-long-chain fatty acids is a conserved process used for the production of many metabolites, including plant cuticular waxes. The elongation of precursors of the most abundant cuticular wax components of some plants, however, is ...

Hydroxycinnamoyl-coenzyme A: tetrahydroxyhexanedioate hydroxycinnamoyl transferase (HHHT) from Phaseolus vulgaris L.: phylogeny, expression pattern, kinetic parameters, and active site analysis [PDF]
PeerJBAHD acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) transferases comprise a large family of enzymes in plants which transfer an acyl group from a CoA thioester to hydroxyl or amine groups to form esters or amides, respectively.

Silencing of a BAHD acyltransferase in sugarcane increases biomass digestibility [PDF]
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2019 Background Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) covers vast areas of land (around 25 million ha worldwide), and its processing is already linked into infrastructure for producing bioethanol in many countries.

BAHD Company: The Ever-Expanding Roles of the BAHD Acyltransferase Gene Family in Plants [PDF]
Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2022 Plants’ ability to chemically modify core structures of specialized metabolites is the main reason why the plant kingdom contains such a wide and rich array of diverse compounds. One of the most important types of chemical modifications of small molecules is the addition of an acyl moiety to produce esters and amides.

Discovering a mitochondrion-localized BAHD acyltransferase involved in calystegine biosynthesis and engineering the production of 3β-tigloyloxytropane [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSolanaceous plants produce tropane alkaloids (TAs) via esterification of 3α- and 3β-tropanol. Although littorine synthase is revealed to be responsible for 3α-tropanol esterification that leads to hyoscyamine biosynthesis, the genes associated with 3β ...

Consecutive action of two BAHD acyltransferases promotes tetracoumaroyl spermine accumulation in chicory [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2022 Abstract Fully substituted phenolamide accumulation in the pollen coat of Eudicotyledons is a conserved evolutionary chemical trait. Interestingly, spermidine derivatives are replaced by spermine derivatives as the main phenolamide accumulated in the Asteraceae family.

Identification and characterization of five BAHD acyltransferases involved in hydroxycinnamoyl ester metabolism in chicory [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Chicory (Cichorium intybus) accumulates caffeic acid esters with important significance for human health. In this study, we aim at a better understanding of the biochemical pathway of these bioactive compounds. Detailed metabolic analysis reveals that C.

pHBMT1, a BAHD-family monolignol acyltransferase, mediates lignin acylation in poplar [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2021 Abstract Poplar (Populus) lignin is naturally acylated with p-hydroxybenzoate ester moieties. However, the enzyme(s) involved in the biosynthesis of the monolignol–p-hydroxybenzoates have remained largely unknown. Here, we performed an in vitro screen of the Populus trichocarpa BAHD acyltransferase superfamily (116 genes) using a ...
