The Unique Role of the ECERIFERUM2-LIKE Clade of the BAHD Acyltransferase Superfamily in Cuticular Wax Metabolism [PDF]
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 ...

BAHD Company: The Ever-Expanding Roles of the BAHD Acyltransferase Gene Family in Plants
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.

Silencing of a BAHD acyltransferase in sugarcane increases biomass digestibility [PDF]
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.

Identification of BAHD‐acyltransferase enzymes involved in ingenane diterpenoid biosynthesis
Summary The plant family Euphorbiaceae is an abundant source of structurally complex diterpenoids, many of which have reported anticancer, anti‐HIV, and anti‐inflammatory activities. Among these, ingenol‐3‐angelate (1a; tradename: Picato®), isolated from Euphorbia peplus, has potent antitumor activity.

Exploiting members of the BAHD acyltransferase family to synthesize multiple hydroxycinnamate and benzoate conjugates in yeast [PDF]
Background: BAHD acyltransferases, named after the first four biochemically characterized enzymes of the group, are plant-specific enzymes that catalyze the transfer of coenzyme A-activated donors onto various acceptor molecules. They are responsible for
