An important role of a BAHD acyl transferase‐like protein in plant innate immunity [PDF]

open access: bronzeThe Plant Journal, 2008
SummarySalicylic acid (SA) is an important regulator of plant resistance to biotrophic and hemi‐biotrophic pathogens. The enhanced pseudomonas susceptibility 1 (eps1) mutant in Arabidopsis thaliana is hypersusceptible to both virulent and avirulent strains of the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae.

Crystal Structure of Vinorine Synthase, the First Representative of the BAHD Superfamily [PDF]

open access: hybridJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2005
Vinorine synthase is an acetyltransferase that occupies a central role in the biosynthesis of the antiarrhythmic monoterpenoid indole alkaloid ajmaline in the plant Rauvolfia. Vinorine synthase belongs to the benzylalcohol acetyl-, anthocyanin-O-hydroxy-cinnamoyl-, anthranilate-N-hydroxy-cinnamoyl/benzoyl-, deacetylvindoline acetyltransferase (BAHD ...

Structural and Mutational Studies of Anthocyanin Malonyltransferases Establish the Features of BAHD Enzyme Catalysis [PDF]

open access: hybridJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2007
The BAHD family is a class of acyl-CoA-dependent acyltransferases that are involved in plant secondary metabolism and show a diverse range of specificities for acyl acceptors. Anthocyanin acyltransferases make up an important class of the BAHD family and catalyze the acylation of anthocyanins that are responsible for most of the red-to-blue colors of ...

The Last Step in Cocaine Biosynthesis Is Catalyzed by a BAHD Acyltransferase [PDF]

open access: greenPlant Physiology, 2014
The esterification of methylecgonine (2-carbomethoxy-3β-tropine) with benzoic acid is the final step in the biosynthetic pathway leading to the production of cocaine in Erythoxylum coca. Here we report the identification of a member of the BAHD family of plant acyltransferases as cocaine synthase.

A BAHD neofunctionalization promotes tetrahydroxycinnamoyl spermine accumulation in the pollen coats of the Asteraceae family [PDF]

open access: bronzeJournal of Experimental Botany, 2018
In eudicotyledons, accumulation of trihydroxycinnamoyl spermidine that is restricted to the pollen wall constitutes an evolutionary conserved trait. However, the role of this compound, which is synthetized by the BAHD enzyme spermidine hydroxycinnamoyl transferase (SHT), is still a matter of debate.

Identification and Characterization of Five BAHD Acyltransferases Involved in Hydroxycinnamoyl Ester Metabolism in Chicory [PDF]

open access: goldFrontiers 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.
